2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Maintenance

Take care of your Mitsubishi Lancer and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, 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. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Lancer maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mitsubishi, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. 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 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer problems in the future.

Bring your 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing 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.

Could your 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last 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. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. 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.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer engine. See Mitsubishi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2013 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. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mitsubishi Lancer can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, 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.

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!). 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 can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2013 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.
