When to Change 2004 Mitsubishi Galant Engine Oil

Need more info about 2004 Mitsubishi Galant oil changes? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2004 Galant’s oil should be changed according to Mitsubishi’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Galant in the above table. Outside of Mitsubishi-recommended oil change intervals, your Galant may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock 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 terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mitsubishi Galant. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
