2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Mitsubishi Lancer, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Lancer. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Lancer, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mitsubishi themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Lancer running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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 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 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer be ready for a new battery? 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. 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 Lancer) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mitsubishi Lancer won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer running newer, longer. See Mitsubishi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2009 Lancer in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Mitsubishi Lancer steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Mitsubishi Lancer 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. 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 skip recommended Mitsubishi Lancer services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Mitsubishi Lancer cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is your Mitsubishi Lancer radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer maintenance.
