2012 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 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Eclipse, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mitsubishi themselves. 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. 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 prevent common 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse 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. 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.

Could your 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Eclipse stranded. Your Mitsubishi Eclipse won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

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 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2012 Eclipse. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Routine upkeep for your Mitsubishi Eclipse suspension and steering system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Mitsubishi Eclipse steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Mitsubishi Eclipse's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Mitsubishi Eclipse maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), 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.
