Mitsubishi recommends changing your 2012 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 engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of 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, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mitsubishi Eclipse. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
