How Often to Change 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Mitsubishi Eclipse’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 2004 Eclipse’s oil should be changed according to Mitsubishi’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Mitsubishi-recommended oil change intervals, your Eclipse may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mitsubishi if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mitsubishi Eclipse. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

What Type of Oil Does My Mitsubishi Eclipse Need?

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Mitsubishi Eclipse. Mitsubishi has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best oil for 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse vehicles. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your Eclipse's oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Eclipse by considering your driving preferences, and the number of miles on your odometer.

2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mitsubishi Eclipse? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Mitsubishi Eclipse engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Mitsubishi Eclipse oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Eclipse spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Mitsubishi Eclipse oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Mitsubishi Eclipse oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Eclipse oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Mitsubishi Eclipse could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to replace my Eclipse’s oil filter when changing my oil? You should replace your Mitsubishi Eclipse during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
