2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Mitsubishi Eclipse and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Eclipse. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Eclipse, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse!

Mitsubishi knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. 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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Eclipse's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. 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 2006 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Eclipse may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mitsubishi Eclipse battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Eclipse) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mitsubishi Eclipse won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse engine. See Mitsubishi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2006 Eclipse in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mitsubishi Eclipse can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, perform Mitsubishi Eclipse suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Mitsubishi Eclipse's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Mitsubishi Eclipse maintenance, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Mitsubishi Eclipse engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Mitsubishi Eclipse? We got it. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse maintenance and repairs.
