Common problems and easy repairs on a 2010 Outlander

The 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander ES has a few unique and difficult repairs, which will make it hard to maintain the vehicle on a regular basis. You will have to lower the tire from under the vehicle for access to it. The lowering mechanism can grow rusted to the vehicle over time and be difficult to turn. Changing the cabin air filter will require you to lower the glove box first. This would have been easier if there were access panels in the rear of the glove box instead. Access for the tail light blubs can be problematic, as you will need many tools to complete unique steps for access.

Some things are easier on the 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander ES. Checking the transmission fluid level with reliability is no problem, as the dipstick is easily accessible in the engine bay. Not every model includes this dipstick. Changing the engine air filter is easy to do, as you only have to disengage a few fasteners for access to the filter. These fasteners are easy to disengage. The engine coolant reservoir is easily visible in the engine bay. This will allow you to check and replenish the fluid level on a regular basis.
