How often should I service my 1989 Mitsubishi Precis?

Here’s Why 1989 Mitsubishi Precis Scheduled Maintenance Matters

When it comes to your Mitsubishi Precis, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Precis could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. 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 Precis maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1989 Mitsubishi Precis!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mitsubishi themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Precis perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1989 Mitsubishi Precis problems.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Mitsubishi Precis Running Newer, Longer

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1989 Mitsubishi Precis and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Precis’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1989 Mitsubishi Precis be ready for a new battery? 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Precis may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mitsubishi Precis battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 Precis won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1989 Mitsubishi Precis's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1989 Precis. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 1989 Mitsubishi Precis.

Routine upkeep for your Mitsubishi Precis 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, perform Mitsubishi Precis suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Mitsubishi Precis's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Mitsubishi Precis 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!). Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Mitsubishi Precis cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is your Mitsubishi Precis radiator in need of replacement? We’ve got your back. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 1989 Mitsubishi Precis maintenance and repairs.

We can help you keep your vehicle (and your life!) running smoothly. Many of our locations have weekend and evening hours for your convenience.
