2009 Mitsubishi Outlander Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Mitsubishi Outlander, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Outlander could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Outlander maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander!

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. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Outlander perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Outlander's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Mitsubishi Outlander battery. 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. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Mitsubishi Outlander 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 help your 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander's engine run smoother. See Mitsubishi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2009 Outlander in the chart at the top of this page. 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. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mitsubishi Outlander can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide Mitsubishi Outlander steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Mitsubishi Outlander's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Mitsubishi Outlander services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Mitsubishi Outlander engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is your Mitsubishi Outlander radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We'll fix it.
