How often should I service my 1998 Mitsubishi Mirage?
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.
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. 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.
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.
