What to Know About 2012 Mitsubishi Galant Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mitsubishi Galant to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your Galant has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? 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 2012 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. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Galant's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2012 Mitsubishi Galant problems.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Mitsubishi Galant

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2012 Mitsubishi Galant for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2012 Mitsubishi Galant. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Galant may need a replacement battery sooner. 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Galant stranded. Your Mitsubishi Galant won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2012 Mitsubishi Galant running newer, longer. To learn how often Mitsubishi recommends you have the oil changed in your 2012 Galant, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2012 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.
