Here’s Why 1998 Mitsubishi Mirage Scheduled Maintenance Matters

You want your Mitsubishi Mirage to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Mirage could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. 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. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1998 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. 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. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Mirage perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1998 Mitsubishi Mirage problems later.

Overview of Essential Mitsubishi Mirage Maintenance Needs

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1998 Mitsubishi Mirage and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check.

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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1998 Mitsubishi Mirage. Batteries generally need to be replaced every 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. 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.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1998 Mitsubishi Mirage 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 1998 Mirage. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1998 Mitsubishi Mirage.

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Mitsubishi Mirage's steering system with regular maintenance.

1998 Mitsubishi Mirage Maintenance Questions

Take an active role in maintaining your 1998 Mitsubishi Mirage. Get answers to common Mitsubishi Mirage maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Mitsubishi Mirage? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When does my Mitsubishi Mirage need high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Mitsubishi Mirage engines.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Mitsubishi? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Mitsubishi Mirage, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light
