1998 Mitsubishi Montero Sport Maintenance

Take care of your Mitsubishi Montero Sport and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your Montero Sport has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Montero Sport maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1998 Mitsubishi Montero Sport!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of 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 Montero Sport's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1998 Mitsubishi Montero Sport problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1998 Mitsubishi Montero Sport for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Montero Sport. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1998 Mitsubishi Montero Sport? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mitsubishi Montero Sport battery. 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 Montero Sport stranded. Your Mitsubishi Montero Sport could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1998 Mitsubishi Montero Sport 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 Montero Sport. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 Montero Sport.
