Mitsubishi recommends having your 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Montero Sport may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mitsubishi Montero Sport. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport

  • Should I check my Mitsubishi Montero Sport motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Mitsubishi Montero Sport engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Mitsubishi Montero Sport oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Montero Sport exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Mitsubishi Montero Sport oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Mitsubishi Montero Sport oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Montero Sport oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Mitsubishi Montero Sport could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my Montero Sport's oil filter when I get an oil change? You should replace your Mitsubishi Montero Sport during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
