What Is the Mitsubishi Maintenance Schedule and How Do You Follow It?
Each Mitsubishi car or SUV has its own service schedule, which lays out guidelines for how frequently you should receive maintenance. The primary recommendation is to inspect the basics every three months or 3,750 miles, whichever comes first, including tires, engine oil, and filters, among other essential components. This information is directly from the automakers, based on the durability of specific parts and systems.
You can find your model's maintenance intervals by reviewing the driver's manual. Alternatively, you can also check in with our service team for a basic outline. We are not only a great place for auto service, but we are also a great resource for maintenance questions. Contact our service team or visit our dealership if you're unsure whether your vehicle is due for an OEM-recommended maintenance appointment.

Why Choose Certified Mitsubishi Repair Shops Over Aftermarket?
Choosing a service center for regular maintenance is a significant decision that should not be made lightly. Many drivers are tempted to go with aftermarket shops, assuming that the prices will be lower and the service just as quality. At Wally's Mitsubishi Watertown, we don't endorse aftermarket service for several reasons.
First, these facilities do not come with a vote of confidence from the automaker, and their technicians do not always specialize in Mitsubishi engineering. This means that they may accidentally use a non-Mitsubishi coolant or a part that doesn't fit your specifications seamlessly.
While imperfect measurements may not seem like the end of the world, this could have disastrous effects; ill-fitting parts can compromise the safety, performance, efficiency, and long-term reliability of your vehicle. They may also affect its resale value.
That's not all; in certain cases, your Mitsubishi warranty coverage may not cover a model that has received aftermarket maintenance or repairs. The more you visit a certified Mitsubishi shop, the more likely it is that your warranty remains valid.
Finally, when you choose a certified shop, you'll also have access to a broad inventory of Mitsubishi products in our Mitsubishi parts center.
