- Every 6 months or 5,000-7,500 miles: Engine oil and filter replacement (use the grade specified), tire rotation, brake inspection, fluid top-offs, battery health test, and a multi-point inspection.
- 12 months or 15,000 miles: Replace cabin air filter; inspect engine air filter; review tire tread depth and wear patterns; verify ADAS camera/radar alignment if glass or bumper work occurred.
- 24 months or 30,000 miles: Brake fluid exchange; cooling system inspection; alignment check; fuel and induction system inspection as needed based on driving conditions.
- 36 months or 45,000 miles: Replace engine air filter if due; inspect drive belts and hoses; evaluate CVT fluid condition; check axle boots, suspension, and steering components.
- 60 months or 60,000-75,000 miles: Service CVT fluid as specified; replace spark plugs per manual; service S-AWC rear differential and transfer case fluids on AWD models; replace engine coolant per schedule.
- Every 7,500 miles: Check tire pressures and wear; rotate sooner if uneven wear appears; inspect brakes and road-test for vibration or pull.
- PHEV-specific checks (Outlander PHEV): Inspect EV cooling system; clean and inspect charge port and cable; verify high-voltage system health with a diagnostic scan; check 12-volt battery; maintain brake system to prevent corrosion from reduced use.
- Seasonal preparation: Pre-winter and pre-summer checks—battery test, tire tread and pressures, coolant and HVAC performance, and wiper blade replacement if streaking.
- As needed: Wiper blades, bulbs, key fob battery, alignments for pull or irregular wear, brake pads and rotors based on measured thickness and condition.
Partner with our service team to keep maintenance simple and predictable. We build a personalized plan, maintain digital records for resale value, and send reminders before key mileage markers. We can coordinate windshield calibrations after glass work, road-force balance tires to solve vibration, and measure rotor runout to prevent brake pulsation. For CVT-equipped Outlanders, our technicians follow Mitsubishi procedures for fluid service and adaptation; for S-AWC models, we reset indicators and verify operation on a controlled road test. Genuine Parts help preserve performance and warranty coverage. Because driving conditions vary—short trips, towing, stop-and-go, extreme hot or cold—some items may need attention sooner. Always follow your Owner’s Manual and contact the manufacturer or our team for details tailored to your VIN. Ready for a model-year-specific plan or your next appointment?
