LaFontaine Mitsubishi Lansing – Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Mitsubishi Outlander
Your Mitsubishi Outlander—gasoline or Outlander PHEV—rewards consistent care with smoother performance, safe braking, and strong resale value. Our factory-trained technicians tailor maintenance to how you drive, your model year, and whether your vehicle uses S-AWC all-wheel control or a conventional drivetrain. At LaFontaine Mitsubishi Lansing, we pair Mitsubishi diagnostic tools with genuine parts and clear guidance, so you always know what is due now and what can wait. We also simplify visits with appointment reminders and digital inspection reports that track tire tread, brake life, and fluid condition. Use the general schedule below as a helpful baseline; it fits most model years and driving styles, with timing adjusted for mileage, time, and conditions. If you tow, idle frequently, face extreme temperatures, or mostly make short trips, plan on following the severe-service side of the Owner’s Manual. Many Outlander models use a CVT, so fluid condition is especially important. If your Outlander is a plug-in hybrid, the items are similar with a few added coolant checks. Always consult your Owner’s Manual and contact Mitsubishi Motors or our advisors for recommendations specific to your vehicle.
- Oil and filter changes: Every 6 months or 5,000-7,500 miles; sooner for frequent short trips.
- Tires: Rotate about every 7,500 miles; check pressure monthly; align yearly or after impacts.
- Brakes: Inspect at each visit; replace pads when worn; exchange brake fluid every 2-3 years.
- Air filters: Engine filter every 15,000-30,000 miles; cabin microfilter annually or as needed.
- Transmission and driveline fluids: CVT and, for S-AWC, transfer case/rear differential per manual and conditions.
- Ignition and battery: Iridium plugs typically 60,000-100,000 miles; test battery seasonally and replace as needed.
Proper timing protects complex systems such as the CVT, S-AWC components, and driver-assistance electronics. At each visit, we complete a multi-point inspection, prioritize critical items, and map out upcoming services so there are no surprises. Because weather and roads affect maintenance, we tailor intervals for Michigan’s winters and pothole season, and we stock the right tires, filters, fluids, and wiper blades for your Outlander. We use Genuine Mitsubishi parts and fluids to help preserve performance and warranty coverage. Prefer early drop-off, while-you-wait oil changes, or bundled services? Our advisors will schedule around your day—serving Lansing, East Lansing, and Okemos. If you recently purchased Certified Pre-Owned or split driving between highway and city, ask us to review your baseline, check for open campaigns, and verify software and TSB updates. Remember that intervals vary by model, year, and usage—the Owner’s Manual is the authority, and you can always confirm requirements with Mitsubishi Motors or our team.
