It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Tredia maintenance. Just follow your 1986 Mitsubishi Tredia maintenance schedule!

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, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include 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 Tredia's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1986 Mitsubishi Tredia problems later.

Overview of Essential Mitsubishi Tredia Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1986 Mitsubishi Tredia for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 Tredia'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 1986 Mitsubishi Tredia. 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 Tredia may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 Tredia 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 Tredia) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mitsubishi Tredia 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 support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1986 Mitsubishi Tredia running newer, longer. See Mitsubishi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1986 Tredia in the chart at the top 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. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1986 Mitsubishi Tredia? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mitsubishi Tredia can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. 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, perform Mitsubishi Tredia 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 Tredia's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Mitsubishi Tredia maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.
