What to Know About 1996 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Mitsubishi Mighty Max, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Mighty Max. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Mighty Max maintenance. Just follow your 1996 Mitsubishi Mighty Max maintenance schedule!

Mitsubishi knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Mighty Max's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1996 Mitsubishi Mighty Max problems.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Mitsubishi Mighty Max

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1996 Mitsubishi Mighty Max 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Mighty Max. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 1996 Mitsubishi Mighty Max be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to 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 Mighty Max 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 Mighty Max won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1996 Mitsubishi Mighty Max running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1996 Mighty Max. 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 can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1996 Mitsubishi Mighty Max.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mitsubishi Mighty Max 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 the appropriate Mitsubishi Mighty Max 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 Mighty Max's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Mitsubishi Mighty Max services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.

Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Mitsubishi Mighty Max cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Mitsubishi Mighty Max radiator? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 1996 Mitsubishi Mighty Max maintenance.
