How Often to Change 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2014 Lancer’s oil should be changed according to Mitsubishi’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Lancer may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mitsubishi if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mitsubishi Lancer. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

What Kind of Oil Should I Get for My Mitsubishi Lancer?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Mitsubishi has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer vehicles.

During an oil change, a technician will change your Lancer's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Lancer by considering your driving habits, weather and road conditions,

2014 Mitsubishi Lancer Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mitsubishi Lancer? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Mitsubishi Lancer engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Mitsubishi oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who does Mitsubishi Lancer oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Mitsubishi Lancer oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Mitsubishi Lancer to illuminate? The oil change light in your Mitsubishi Lancer could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my Lancer's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Mitsubishi Lancer oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
