1986 Mitsubishi Starion Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Mitsubishi Starion and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Starion. 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 Starion maintenance. Just follow your 1986 Mitsubishi Starion maintenance schedule!

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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Starion's life, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1986 Mitsubishi Starion problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1986 Mitsubishi Starion and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Starion. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1986 Mitsubishi Starion. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Starion may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mitsubishi Starion 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Starion stranded. Your Mitsubishi Starion won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1986 Mitsubishi Starion running newer, longer. To learn how often Mitsubishi recommends you have the oil changed in your 1986 Starion, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1986 Mitsubishi Starion.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mitsubishi Starion can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Mitsubishi Starion suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Mitsubishi Starion's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Mitsubishi Starion maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Mitsubishi Starion cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Mitsubishi Starion radiator? We can take care of that. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re here to fix that, too.
