South Suburban Mitsubishi - Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Mitsubishi Outlander
Keeping your Mitsubishi Outlander performing at its best comes down to a clear, consistent maintenance plan tailored to how and where you drive. Our factory-trained technicians service both gasoline and PHEV models, using Genuine Mitsubishi parts and diagnostic tools designed for Outlander systems like S-AWC and MI-PILOT Assist. To simplify your ownership, start with three smart steps: first, check your Owner’s Manual for model year specifics and severe-use notes; next, map intervals by time and mileage so nothing gets skipped; finally, book visits ahead of seasonal changes to stay ahead of Chicagoland weather. We can also document your service history, monitor open recalls or Technical Service Bulletins, and advise on warranty-friendly care. Below is a general guide most Outlander owners can use to plan ahead—always verify exact requirements for your vehicle.
- Every 6 months or ~7,500 miles: Engine oil and filter, tire rotation, brake inspection, fluid top-off, battery test, and multi-point check.
- 12 months or ~15,000 miles: Cabin air filter inspect or replace, engine air filter inspect, wiper blades, and road test for vibrations or noise.
- 24 months or ~30,000 miles: Replace engine air filter, brake fluid exchange, inspect CVT/AT fluid condition, inspect S-AWC/AWD differential and transfer case fluids, cooling system check.
- 36 months or ~45,000 miles: Alignment check, repeat cabin filter, inspect coolant hoses and drive belts, clean throttle body as needed.
- 60 months or ~60,000 miles: Inspect or replace spark plugs per engine spec, service CVT/AT fluid if indicated, replace coolant if due, service S-AWC/AWD fluids, comprehensive brake service.
- 100,000–105,000 miles: Long-life coolant replacement (if not previously due), iridium spark plugs (as applicable), transmission service per inspection, water pump and timing chain system inspection.
- PHEV-specific (annual): EV system health report, drive battery cooling system check, reduction gear oil inspection, charge-port and cable inspection, software updates.
- Seasonal in Chicagoland: Winter battery load test, underbody wash for road salt, tire changeover and TPMS check, defroster and HVAC performance review.
