What to Know About 2009 Mitsubishi Galant Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Mitsubishi Galant and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Galant 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. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Galant maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2009 Mitsubishi Galant!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Galant perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2009 Mitsubishi Galant problems.

Overview of Essential Mitsubishi Galant Maintenance Needs

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2009 Mitsubishi Galant and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2009 Mitsubishi Galant? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mitsubishi Galant battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Galant) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mitsubishi Galant won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2009 Mitsubishi Galant engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2009 Galant. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2009 Mitsubishi Galant.

Maintaining your Mitsubishi Galant steering and suspension 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. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Mitsubishi Galant 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. Components within your Mitsubishi Galant's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Mitsubishi Galant services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Mitsubishi Galant cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is your Mitsubishi Galant radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2009 Mitsubishi Galant maintenance.

So visit us regularly, or visit us urgently. Many locations are open on weekends and in the evening.

2009 Mitsubishi Galant Maintenance Q&A

Take an active role in maintaining your 2009 Mitsubishi Galant. Get answers to common Mitsubishi Galant maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • When should I have Mitsubishi Galant alignment checked? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When does my Mitsubishi Galant need high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Mitsubishi Galant engines.
  • Can Mitsubishi dashboard warning lights wait? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Mitsubishi Galant in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
