1988 Mitsubishi Mirage Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Mitsubishi Mirage and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Mirage could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Mirage, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1988 Mitsubishi Mirage maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mitsubishi themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Mirage's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1988 Mitsubishi Mirage problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1988 Mitsubishi Mirage for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Mirage's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1988 Mitsubishi Mirage? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and 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 Mirage battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Mirage stranded. Your Mitsubishi Mirage won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1988 Mitsubishi Mirage's engine run smoother. See Mitsubishi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1988 Mirage in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 1988 Mitsubishi Mirage.

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement.
