2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Mitsubishi Eclipse, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Eclipse could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Eclipse maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mitsubishi, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Eclipse perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Eclipse. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mitsubishi Eclipse battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Mitsubishi Eclipse won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse's engine run smoother. See Mitsubishi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2005 Eclipse in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Maintaining your Mitsubishi Eclipse steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Mitsubishi Eclipse steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Mitsubishi Eclipse's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Mitsubishi Eclipse maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too.
