Why check the motor oil level in my Mitsubishi Eclipse?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Mitsubishi Eclipse engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my Mitsubishi oil on my own?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.

How Often to Get 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than 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.

Mitsubishi recommends changing your 2008 Eclipse’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Eclipse in the above table. Your Eclipse may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mitsubishi if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage 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.
