Not sure how or where to get your Mitsubishi Eclipse’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Mitsubishi recommends having your 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Eclipse may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mitsubishi recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt 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.

What Kind of Oil Should I Get for My Mitsubishi Eclipse?

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Mitsubishi Eclipse. Mitsubishi has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2011 Eclipse. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine.

You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Eclipse by considering your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.
