How Often to Get 1988 Mitsubishi Mirage Oil Changes

Not sure how or where to get your Mitsubishi Mirage’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than 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.

Your 1988 Mirage’s oil should be changed according to Mitsubishi’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Mirage 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 vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mitsubishi recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mitsubishi Mirage. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1988 Mitsubishi Mirage motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Mitsubishi has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 1988 Mirage.

During your oil change service, an auto technician will change your Mirage’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can drive easy knowing that we strive to do what's best for your vehicle and take into account your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.

1988 Mitsubishi Mirage Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Mitsubishi Mirage motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Mitsubishi Mirage 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 Mirage oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Mirage spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Mitsubishi Mirage? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Mitsubishi Mirage oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Mitsubishi Mirage? Your Mitsubishi Mirage oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my Mirage's oil filter when I get an oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Mitsubishi Mirage every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
