Why Have a Mitsubishi Eclipse Service?
It is important to have a regular scheduled Eclipse Service as not only does it help ensure that your vehicle runs smoothly, but it also helps to improve the resale value, provide you with as safe a driver as possible and allows the vehicle to operate at its maximum economical capacity. There are two types of scheduled services, these being the Minor Eclipse Service and the Major Eclipse Service. Both of these vehicles services are performed according to the Mitsubishi Eclipse Service Intervals which can be found in your vehicle ownership pack which you would have received when you purchased your vehicle.
Minor Mitsubishi Eclipse Service
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has an impressive service interval of 15,000 km’s and this means that a minor service will need to be performed at the prescribed times as per your service manual.

- The replacement of the engine oil and the oil filter
- The replacement of brake and clutch fluid
- The replacement of the cabin air pollen filter (if necessary)

Additionally, all onboard computer diagnostic check and reset will be done once the service is complete.
