Keeping your MITSUBISHI LANCER Base in top shape requires attention to some key maintenance areas. Let's explore what you should focus on:

Brakes: Regular inspections of brake pads, rotors, and brake fluid levels are paramount for your safety. Worn brake pads can produce squealing noises, indicating a need for replacement. It's wise to follow manufacturer recommendations every 15,000 to 20,000 kilometers for brake servicing. You can find the right components through our Braking category.

Filters: To maintain optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency, replace your air, oil, and fuel filters at recommended intervals. Typically, air filters should be swapped every 20,000 to 25,000 kilometers, while oil and fuel filters may require attention every 10,000 kilometers. Check our Filtration category for your filter needs.

Suspension: Pay attention to your suspension's conditions. Signs like excessive bouncing or uneven tire wear may indicate worn components. A good rule of thumb is to check suspensions every 40,000 kilometers to ensure that parts such as struts and shock absorbers remain effective. Explore our offerings in the Suspension category to replace damaged parts as needed.

Keep an eye out for the cooling system as well. At around 150,000 kilometers, vital components like the water pump, thermostat, and radiator should be inspected to prevent overheating issues. A regular check can save you unexpected headaches, and you can delve more into these parts in our Cooling category.
