2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Maintenance

Take care of your Mitsubishi Lancer and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Lancer. 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 Lancer maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer!

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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Lancer running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Lancer’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Lancer may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mitsubishi Lancer battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Mitsubishi Lancer won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer engine. To learn how often Mitsubishi recommends you have the oil changed in your 2003 Lancer, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer? We can help with that, too!

That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled!

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Mitsubishi Lancer's steering and suspension system.

Without routine Mitsubishi Lancer maintenance, 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!).

Is your Mitsubishi Lancer radiator in need of replacement? We’ve got your back. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer maintenance.

We can help you keep your vehicle (and your life!) running smoothly. Many of our locations have weekend and evening hours for your convenience.
