2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse Maintenance Schedule

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, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Eclipse. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Eclipse maintenance. Just follow your 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mitsubishi themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Eclipse running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2011 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Eclipse’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2011 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. 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Eclipse stranded. 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 2011 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 2011 Eclipse. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Routine upkeep for your Mitsubishi Eclipse suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, 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.

If you skip recommended Mitsubishi Eclipse services, 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. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Mitsubishi Eclipse cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Mitsubishi Eclipse? We got it. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse maintenance.
