How Often to Change 1985 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1985 Mitsubishi Mighty Max? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Mitsubishi recommends having your 1985 Mitsubishi Mighty Max’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Mighty Max may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mitsubishi recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mitsubishi Mighty Max. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

1985 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Mitsubishi Mighty Max engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Mitsubishi Mighty Max engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Mitsubishi Mighty Max oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Mighty Max exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Mitsubishi Mighty Max oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Mitsubishi Mighty Max oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Mitsubishi Mighty Max? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Mitsubishi Mighty Max oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Mitsubishi Mighty Max? You should replace your Mitsubishi Mighty Max during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
