1985 Mitsubishi Mirage Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mitsubishi Mirage to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Mirage has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. 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 Mirage maintenance. Just follow your 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage 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. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Mirage perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Mirage’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Mirage may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mitsubishi Mirage battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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 Mirage could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage running newer, longer. See Mitsubishi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1985 Mirage in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage? We can help with that, too!

To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Mitsubishi Mirage's steering and suspension system.
