2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Mitsubishi Eclipse, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Eclipse has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. 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 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mitsubishi, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Eclipse running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse problems in the future.

Bring your 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. 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.

Could your 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to 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. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. 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 support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2009 Eclipse. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Maintaining your Mitsubishi Eclipse steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. 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. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Mitsubishi Eclipse's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Mitsubishi Eclipse maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). 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’ve got your back. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse maintenance.
