Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 6,000 mi; coolant at 102,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 102,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Every 6,000 mi	Engine Oil (drain & refill)
At 102,000 mi	Engine Coolant System (drain, flush & refill)
At 120,000 mi	Transfer Case Assembly (drain & refill)

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Owner complaints about the 2006 Mitsubishi Raider dominate in one area — the air bags, 24 of 54 reports (44%), well ahead of the next concern. That matters, because the air bags are also the target of recalls 16V-352 and 15V-313 on this vehicle — so the single most useful check before buying or servicing one is confirming they were actually performed. 2 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the air bags pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
