When to Change 1999 Mitsubishi Mirage Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Mitsubishi Mirage’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 1999 Mirage’s oil should be changed according to Mitsubishi’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. 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 areas, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage 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.
