Mitsubishi Care: Quick Tips and 24/7 Support
Got a Mitsubishi and want it to run like new? You’re in the right spot. Here you’ll find practical advice you can use right now, plus details on how Ford Rapid Assistance can jump in when you need a hand.
Common Mitsubishi Maintenance Tasks
First off, let’s talk about the stuff you can do yourself. Changing the oil every 5,000‑7,000 km keeps the engine happy and prevents expensive wear. Use the oil grade listed in your owner’s manual – usually a 5W‑30 for most recent models.
Next up, the air filter. A dirty filter chokes the engine and hurts fuel economy. Pull it out, give it a tap, and replace it if it looks ragged. It’s a quick job that saves you a few dollars at the pump.
Brake pads are another area you don’t want to ignore. When you hear a high‑pitched squeal, it’s time to check the pads. Most Mitsubishis use a replace‑as‑you‑go system, so you can see the thickness through the wheel hub. If the pads are under 3 mm, swap them out before the rotors get scored.
Tire pressure is a simple habit that makes a big difference. Check the pressure when the tires are cold and inflate them to the numbers on the driver’s door jamb. Proper pressure improves handling, fuel use, and tire life.
Finally, keep an eye on the coolant level. A low level can cause the engine to overheat, especially in hot weather. Top up with the correct mix of coolant and water if it’s below the ‘min’ line.
When to Call for Rapid Assistance
Even with regular care, things can go sideways. If the check‑engine light flashes, it could mean a misfire – stop the car and call for help. A sudden loss of power, strange noises, or smoke coming from under the hood are also red flags.
That’s where Ford Rapid Assistance steps in. Our team is on call 24/7, ready to guide you over the phone or dispatch a technician if needed. Whether you’re stuck on the side of the road or need a quick diagnosis, we’ll get you moving again.
To reach us, just dial our hotline or use the mobile app. Have your VIN and a brief description of the problem ready – it speeds up the process. We work with certified Mitsubishi specialists, so you get the right parts and expertise, even though we’re a Ford‑focused service.
Remember, the sooner you act, the less damage you’ll face. Small issues can turn into costly repairs if you wait too long.
