How Often to Get 2004 Mitsubishi Montero Sport Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2004 Mitsubishi Montero Sport? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2004 Montero Sport’s oil should be changed according to Mitsubishi’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Montero Sport in the above table. Outside of Mitsubishi-recommended oil change intervals, your Montero Sport may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mitsubishi if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mitsubishi Montero Sport. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What’s the Right Type of Oil for 2004 Mitsubishi Montero Sport?

In an oil change service, an auto technician will change your Montero Sport’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle.

2004 Mitsubishi Montero Sport Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mitsubishi Montero Sport? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, 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 also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Mitsubishi Montero Sport? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Mitsubishi Montero Sport oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Mitsubishi Montero Sport? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Mitsubishi Montero Sport oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my Montero Sport's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Mitsubishi Montero Sport every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
