1997 Mitsubishi Mirage Maintenance Schedule

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. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Mirage, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage!

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; 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 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. 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.

Could your 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage be ready for a new battery? 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! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Mirage stranded. Your Mitsubishi Mirage won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage engine.
