Your Guide to 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mitsubishi Lancer to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Lancer could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Lancer, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2010 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 help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer problems later.

Overview of Essential Mitsubishi Lancer Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in 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. 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 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer? 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mitsubishi Lancer 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 Lancer stranded. Your Mitsubishi Lancer won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer's engine run smoother. See Mitsubishi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2010 Lancer in the chart at the top 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. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mitsubishi Lancer can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, 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. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Mitsubishi Lancer's steering system with regular maintenance.

Without routine Mitsubishi Lancer maintenance, 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. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Mitsubishi Lancer engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. 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 the place to go for 2010 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.

Take an active role in maintaining your 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer. Get answers to common Mitsubishi Lancer maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Mitsubishi Lancer? 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 Lancer 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 Lancer engines.
  •  Why are my Mitsubishi dashboard lights on? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Mitsubishi Lancer 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.
