PMS Schedule Mitsubishi Guide for New Car Owners

By Richard Cuagdan, Mitsubishi Sales Executive · 2026-10-22

Bagong kotse, bagong responsibilidad. The easiest way to keep a new car reliable, and your warranty in good standing, is to follow its PMS schedule. Here's what you need to know without the jargon.

What PMS is (and isn't)

PMS means preventive maintenance service: scheduled check-ups that replace fluids and filters and inspect wear items before they fail. It's not a repair visit. It's how you avoid repair visits.

Where to find your schedule

Your exact PMS intervals are in your owner's manual and warranty booklet. Each interval is set by kilometers or months, whichever comes first. So even if you barely drive, the car still needs its check-up when the months are up.

• Check your odometer once a month and note the next due kilometer.
• Put the due month in your phone calendar on release day.
• If you drive in heavy traffic, on rough roads, or carry heavy loads every day, ask if the severe-service schedule applies to you.

What usually gets checked

Each interval has its own list, but most PMS visits cover some of these:

• Engine oil and oil filter
• Air filter and cabin (aircon) filter
• Brake pads, discs and brake fluid
• Coolant, power steering and other fluids
• Tires: pressure, tread, rotation
• Battery, lights, wipers and belts
• Underchassis and suspension

Free labor up to 5,000 km

The all-in package includes free labor up to 5,000 km. That covers the labor on your early services; parts, oil and fluids are usually paid. Ask the service center what's covered before your visit so there are no surprises. Costs vary by model and interval, so always ask for a written estimate.

PMS habits that protect your warranty

1. Book ahead

   Service centers get busy before long weekends. Book a few days early.

2. Stay on schedule

   Missing intervals can affect warranty claims. The all-in package comes with a 3-year warranty, so protect it.

3. Keep every receipt

   Service records help with warranty claims and resale value later.

4. Mention anything odd

   Noises, warning lights or vibrations: tell the service advisor so they check it during PMS.
