Your Mitsubishi Outlander isn’t just a car. It’s a part of your lifestyle. Keep it running newer, longer and schedule your routine maintenance appointment today.
How often should I service my 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander?
You want your Mitsubishi Outlander to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper 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? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Outlander, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander!
The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mitsubishi, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes 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 Outlander's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander problems in the future.
Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. 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.
Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander. In general, car batteries only last three to 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 Outlander battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Outlander) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mitsubishi Outlander could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander engine. See Mitsubishi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2012 Outlander in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander? We can help with that, too!
Routine upkeep for your Mitsubishi Outlander suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Mitsubishi Outlander steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Mitsubishi Outlander's steering system require regular maintenance.
If you fall behind on routine Mitsubishi Outlander maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.
