Your Mitsubishi is a versatile vehicle with a lot of character. If you’d like to customize it to match your personality and lifestyle even more closely, a few genuine Mitsubishi accessories are a great way to go. 

 

Genuine Mitsubishi Accessories: Customize Your Vehicle

Protective Side Molding

The sleek raised contours of Mitsubishi’s attractive side moldings add a premium aesthetic to your car or SUV. These side moldings also help protect your doors from potential bumps and dings from errant shopping carts and the doors of other cars. 

 

Side Wind Deflectors

These stylish, dark-tinted wind deflectors allow you to keep your windows open with dramatically less wind blast and noise. While driving, you can enjoy the fresh air without the wind messing up your hair.

 

Crossbar Roof Mount

If you need to transport bulkier items such as bikes, kayaks, skis, or cargo carriers, why not invest in a strong, elegant roof rack? These custom crossbars and roof rails free up space inside your Mitsubishi for more passengers, luggage, or anything else. 

 

All-Weather Floor Mat

Mitsubishi’s tough, durable floor mats fit snugly into place over your floor carpet. They protect your car’s interior from dirt, dust, mud, and sand, and are easy to remove for cleaning. Their design, with attractive patterning and a stylish logo of your Mitsubishi model, adds an extra touch of class to your floors. 

 

Sleek Door Sill Plate

The door sills of any car undergo more wear than elsewhere, as you and your passengers continuously tread on them while entering and exiting. Mitsubishi’s tailored scuff plates protect the sills and also look great. They’re available in different colors, including silver and red. 

 

Secure Cargo Net

With a fitted cargo net, you can stop your groceries, tools, or sports bags from shifting around in the rear of your vehicle. This keeps things organized and protects your cargo area surfaces from spills and wear. It also minimizes distracting noises from the rear while you’re on the road. 

 

Sturdy Trailer Hitch

Mitsubishi builds a variety of trailer hitches, which are fixed firmly and unobtrusively to the rear of your vehicle, ready to easily connect and tow trailers or haul hitch-mounted bike carriers and cargo boxes. They also enhance your Mitsubishi’s tough, ready-for-anything appearance.

The transmission is an essential part of your car’s drivetrain, transferring power from the engine to the wheels. If there’s a problem with the transmission, there will be a significant impact on your Mitsubishi’s performance as well as the possibility of stress on the engine. Regular Mitsubishi transmission maintenance at your local dealership will ensure that your car continues to run smoothly and that any problems are identified quickly.

Mitsubishi Transmission Maintenance: Service Tips

Follow the Recommended Service Schedule

Every car needs professional care periodically to stay in prime condition, and that includes servicing the transmission. If you skip the transmission service when it’s due, you could notice your car developing a series of problems such as slipping gears, difficulty engaging, and overheating.

Manual transmissions typically need to be serviced every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, while automatic transmissions usually need to be serviced after 60,000 to 100,000 miles. The recommended interval will depend on your model, so it’s important to check your owner’s handbook or get advice from your local dealership.

Be Vigilant for Warning Signs

Even if your transmission has been regularly serviced, it may still develop a problem. It’s therefore good practice to be vigilant for any signs that your transmission is struggling. Early intervention can often prevent further damage and limit the cost of repairs. Some of the signs to look for include:

  • Gears slipping while driving
  • Difficulty moving into gear
  • Engine overheating
  • Leaking transmission fluid
  • Burning smell in the cabin
  • Dashboard warning lights
  • Strange noises such as buzzing, humming, rattling, or clunking
  • Lack of power
  • Delays when shifting gears

If you notice any of the above signs, it’s advisable to get your transmission checked out at a Mitsubishi dealership.

Consider Your Driving Habits

Some types of driving are harder on your transmission, such as:

  • Frequent short journeys
  • Towing heavy loads
  • Sitting in stop-start traffic
  • Accelerating rapidly
  • Abrupt braking (especially in automatic cars)

If your driving habits include any of the above, you may need to schedule more frequent transmission services and fluid changes.

Visit Your Dealership for Regular Fluid Changes

Transmission fluid plays an active role in the smooth operation of your engine, providing lubrication and essential cooling. Over time, the transmission fluid can start to accumulate debris, which can prevent the fluid from doing its job. Organizing a regular service means the Mitsubishi technicians can change the fluid as well as check for any other signs of transmission faults.

With decades of experience, our family-run business is proud to serve customers throughout Northwest Arkansas. If you’ve noticed a problem with your transmission, or you’re overdue for a service, we can help. Contact our friendly team here at Rath Mitsubishi in Springdale, AR, to schedule an appointment.

Understanding Mitsubishi Connect with Our Mitsubishi Connect Guide: Stay Connected on the Go

The Basics

Mitsubishi Connect is a connected vehicle services platform, used by Mitsubishi owners to get the most from their vehicles. Using your smartphone, you can access a whole host of features, including vehicle status monitoring, safety alerts, and convenience features. It all works remotely, so you can keep tabs on your car even if you’re on the other side of the world.

Mitsubishi Connect is available for a range of Mitsubishi vehicles, including certain trim levels of the Outlander and Eclipse.

You can even remotely pre-set the temperature of your vehicle. Imagine the convenience! On cold days, you can pre-set the cabin temperature while you’re eating breakfast, then head out and sit inside your nice warm car.

Regular maintenance ensures your Mitsubishi continues to run beautifully and looks its best. It can even extend its lifespan by spotting small problems before they have a chance to cause damage. Following the recommended Mitsubishi maintenance schedule for your model keeps costs down and helps prevent inconvenient breakdowns.

Mitsubishi Maintenance Schedule: Keeping Your Vehicle Reliable

The precise requirements for your Mitsubishi may vary depending on your model, your driving habits, and the weather where you live. It’s therefore a good idea to check your owner’s manual or speak to your local Mitsubishi dealership to get an exact schedule. However, most Mitsubishi maintenance will follow a schedule that looks roughly like this:

3,750 Miles or Three Months

At 3,750 miles or three months, whichever is sooner, your Mitsubishi should have its first service. This only requires a few basic maintenance tasks:

  • Check and/or change fluids including engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, and power steering fluid
  • Rotate tires
  • Replace engine oil filter
  • Check cabin air filter

 

7,500 Miles or Six Months

When you reach either 7,500 miles or it’s been six months, a slightly more in-depth service is due. This repeats everything included in the three-month service, but also adds the following checks:

  • Brake pads and rotors
  • Suspension

In addition, at this point the cabin air filter should be replaced, rather than just checked again.

15,000 Miles or 12 Months

The most comprehensive maintenance checks are required once you’ve driven 15,000 miles or reach 12 months. This includes everything from the six-month check but also adds:

  • Replace engine air filter
  • Change spark plugs
  • Check automatic transmission
  • Check wheel cylinders and rear drum brake linings
  • Check brake hoses
  • Check driveshaft boots
  • Inspect tire repair kit
  • Test the battery

Mileage-Specific Maintenance

As well as the maintenance that should be done at certain time intervals, some additional maintenance needs to be carried out once you’ve driven a specific number of miles:

 

30,000 Miles

  • Change of transmission fluid
  • Full coolant flush

 

50,000 Miles

  • Check steering system
  • Change fuel filter
  • Inspect exhaust system

 

100,000 Miles

  • Replace timing belt
  • Replace water pump
  • Check full brake system

 

150,000 Miles

  • Check the full cooling system
  • Transmission service
  • Check full electrical system

 

Maintenance Tasks to Carry Out at Home

It’s essential to get maintenance carried out by Mitsubishi at the recommended intervals, but you should also do some simple routine maintenance at home, namely:

  • Washing the exterior
  • Checking your lights
  • Maintaining the right tire pressure
  • Checking the tire tread
  • Topping off windshield wiper fluid

Our service center has a team of skilled technicians who can help with all your maintenance requirements, as well as emergency repairs. Contact us today at Rath Mitsubishi in Springdale, AR to schedule an appointment.
