1988 Mitsubishi Galant Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Mitsubishi Galant and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Galant. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Galant, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1988 Mitsubishi Galant maintenance schedule!

Mitsubishi knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Galant's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1988 Mitsubishi Galant problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1988 Mitsubishi Galant for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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 Galant’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1988 Mitsubishi Galant be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mitsubishi Galant battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Mitsubishi Galant won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1988 Mitsubishi Galant engine. To learn how often Mitsubishi recommends you have the oil changed in your 1988 Galant, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1988 Mitsubishi Galant? We can help with that, too!

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Mitsubishi Galant's steering system require regular maintenance.
