2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mitsubishi Lancer to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your Lancer has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? 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 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mitsubishi, your vehicle manufacturer. 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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Lancer perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Lancer. 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 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to 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. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Mitsubishi Lancer battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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 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 help your 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer's engine run smoother. To learn how often Mitsubishi recommends you have the oil changed in your 2008 Lancer, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Mitsubishi Lancer suspension and steering 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 Mitsubishi Lancer steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. 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.

If you fall behind on routine Mitsubishi Lancer maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), 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!). We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Mitsubishi Lancer’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Mitsubishi Lancer? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 2008 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.
