When to Change 1999 Mitsubishi Galant Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Mitsubishi Galant’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just 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 1999 Mitsubishi Galant’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Galant may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mitsubishi if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mitsubishi Galant. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

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

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1999 Mitsubishi Galant motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Mitsubishi has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the ideal engine oil for your 1999 Galant. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, keep the engine cool, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. In an oil change service, a technician will change your Galant's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Galant by considering your driving preferences, and the number of miles on your odometer.

1999 Mitsubishi Galant Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mitsubishi Galant? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Mitsubishi Galant engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Mitsubishi Galant oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Galant exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Mitsubishi Galant? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Mitsubishi Galant oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Galant oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Mitsubishi Galant could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Mitsubishi Galant? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Mitsubishi Galant every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
