Maintenance for Your 2010 Mitsubishi Galant

What is the maintenance schedule for the 2010 Mitsubishi Galant?

Here’s Why 2010 Mitsubishi Galant Scheduled Maintenance Matters

When it comes to your Mitsubishi Galant, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Galant could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Galant maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2010 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 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, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2010 Mitsubishi Galant problems in the future.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Mitsubishi Galant Running Newer, Longer

Bring your 2010 Mitsubishi Galant to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Galant. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 2010 Mitsubishi Galant be ready for a new battery? 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mitsubishi Galant battery. 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 even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2010 Mitsubishi Galant running newer, longer. See Mitsubishi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2010 Galant in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2010 Mitsubishi Galant.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mitsubishi Galant can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. 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. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Mitsubishi Galant's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Mitsubishi Galant services, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. 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 it time to replace the radiator in your Mitsubishi Galant? We’ve got your back. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2010 Mitsubishi Galant maintenance and repairs.

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

2010 Mitsubishi Galant Maintenance Questions

Take an active role in maintaining your 2010 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 I ignore dashboard lights on my Mitsubishi? 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.
