Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”
Mitsubishi recommends having your 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Lancer may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mitsubishi if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mitsubishi Lancer. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Mitsubishi has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2012 Lancer.

You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Lancer by taking into account your driving habits, local climate,
