  • Will Derale Oil Filter Relocation Kit # D15718 Work on a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse with 2.4 L Engine
  • A 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse with a 2.4 liter motor uses a filter with 20 mm x 1.5 mm engine threads and a 2-1/2 inch diameter O-ring so yes, the Derale Oil Filter Relocation Kit, # D15718, will work for you. After installing the relocation kit you will now use an oil filter with 3/4 inch - 16 threads like the Fram PH8A.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack That Fits 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse SE
  • The Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier - Fixed Arms - Trunk Mount # HRE3 will not fit for your 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse SE model because of the spoiler on it. My research shows that the SE models have spoilers. The Hollywood Racks Express 3 part # HRE3 would only work on Eclipses that do not have spoilers. We do not have a hitch available either, so a hitch-mounted bike rack is not an option. Our only solution to carry a bike, is the Vacuum Cup Mounted bike rack, the SeaSucker...

  • How to Carry Skis on a 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GS
  • You might be able to find some way to secure skis to the Hollywood Racks trunk mount bike rack # HRE3 but it was not designed for that application, and I do not recommend it. Or you could install a Rhino-Rack roof rack using: Aero bars # RRVA126B-2 Feet # RRRLKVA Fit kit # DK082 Then you can use ski carrier # RR576. I have included some links on the Tram and Rhino-Rack ski carrier for you.

  • Will Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1964 for the 2003 Eclipse Spyder Fit 2005 Model Year
  • Only the manual transmission version of the 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder can be flat towed as is, however there are no base plates offered for your vehicle. I confirmed this with both Blue Ox and Roadmaster. The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit that you referenced, part # BX1964 for the 2003 Eclipse Spyder, is not a fit for the 2005 model year. We cannot recommend using a base plate for a vehicle for which it was not intended. Your vehicle owner's manual will indicate if the vehicle can be dolly...

  • Blue Ox Base Plates to Roadmaster Tow Bar Adapter and Flat Towing a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  • In order to use your Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar, # RM-522, with Blue Ox Base Plates, you will need to use an adapter. The correct adapter is Roadmaster Tow Bar to Blue Ox Brackets Adapter, # RM-031. The correct base plates for a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse are # BX1941. If your 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse has an F4A51 or F4A42 automatic transmission, you will need to use a transmission lube pump to flat tow it. If it has a 5 speed manual transmission, it can be flat-towed. If it has...

  • How to Tow 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spider with 5-Speed Manual Transmission
  • Since we do not offer flat towing base plates for your 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse your towing options are then to use a car hauler type trailer that keeps the entire vehicle off the ground, or potentially to use a towing dolly that supports the car's front wheels while the rear wheels remain on the ground. Your owner's manual should be consulted to see what Mitsubishi says about towing your Eclipse. If your car can be dolly towed with an item like the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1 your manual will...

  • Parts Needed to Install Snowboard Rack on 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  • Before you can add a snowboard rack on your roof you need a roof rack. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero roof rack on your 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse. It's an aero bar design which has a cleaner look and reduces wind noise. You need parts: 49 inch Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 Legs # RRRLKVA Fit Kit # DK082 Once you have the roof rack I recommend the Thule SnowPack # TH7324 for a snowboard carrier. It fits the aero bars, carries up to 2 boards, and includes locks.

  • Hitch Recommendation and Comparison for a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  • We do not have any hitches to fit your 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse. If you were wanting a hitch to carry bikes, you could instead use a trunk mounted bike rack. We have the Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier - Fixed Arms - Trunk Mount # HRE3 which you can use to carry 1-3 bikes. Please take into account that this rack will not work with spoilers. Check out the attached video to see it in action.

  • Will Thule K-Summit Tire Chain Lug Nut Adapters Fit Lug Nuts with Rounded Heads
  • The lug nut adapters for the Thule K-Summit tire chains such as TH02230K34 are basically like sockets. So if you can get a regular socket over your lug nuts then the Thule lug nut adapters will also fit.

  • Will the Hollywood Racks Express 3 Fit a 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS
  • I checked with Hollywood Racks and they state that the Express 3 Bike Rack # HRE3 that you referenced will fit the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse as long as it does not have a spoiler. Since the pictures I pulled up of your vehicle show versions with and without the spoiler you would need to check your vehicle first to know for sure.

  • Will the Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Rack Install on a 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  • The straps of the Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier # HRE3 that you referenced are pretty long and have been confirmed by Hollywood Racks to be long enough to make it from the rack to the top of the rear hatch on your 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse as long as its a coupe.

  • Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack to Clear the Rear Bumper on a 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  • There is not a hitch available for your 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse. If you already have a hitch, there should be enough room to install a platform style bike rack. There were only Class I trailer hitches available for your Eclipse, so you will need a bike rack that is compatible with a Class I hitch and you will be limited to carrying 2 bikes at most. The hitch that was available at one time, had a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. The combined weight of the bike rack and bikes cannot...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST Spyder
  • Curt trailer hitch # C1193 is listed as a fit for all models of the 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse so it will fit your Spyder GST. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch. Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a...

  • Can 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse V6 with 5-Speed Transmission be Flat Towed
  • I did some checking and it looks like your 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse V6 with a 5 speed can be flat towed as-is. At this time though we only have base plate kits that fit the Spyder/convertible versions of your vehicle. For that you'd want the Blue Ox kit part # BX1964 that you referenced. You'll need a tow bar which the part # BX7420 would be what I recommend as it's very easy to use and also comes with safety cables. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to...

  • Availability of Roof Rack for 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  • It is still possible to put a roof rack together for your 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The reason you didn't see anything is because manufacturers have discontinued the fit kits that would allow you to install the rack. What you can use is the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero roof rack system. You will need the following: -Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 -Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA You will also need the Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series...

  • Can a Class II Ball Mount be Used with a Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT
  • With a Class I trailer hitch on your 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse, you should only use the ball mount that is recommended for use with the trailer hitch. Another problem is that the ball mount that you have referenced is a Class II accessory. Class II items are designed so that they will not fit in a Class I trailer hitch. You could use Sportframe Drawbar, # 3592, which will give you a 2-1/8 inch rise or # C45016, which will give you a 2-5/8 inch rise.

  • White Lid Availability for Fan-Tastic RV Roof Vent
  • We have a white replacement lid for the Fan-Tastic roof vent part # FV802250 that you referenced with part # FVK1020-81 but Fan-Tastic does not offer the # FV802250 with the white lid. Swapping the lids is really easy too.

  • Catalytic Converter Available for a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  • For a catalytic converter that is in line with the Federal Emissions you can use either a universal fit, like part # MF99004HM, or a more custom fit like parts # MF49459, # MF93195, # MF50824, and # MF49314. You will want to choose one that performs like your OEM converter so as not to set off any error codes. The universal fit # MF99004HM and part # MF50824 do not have an O2 port if that is something that you are looking at. Part # MF50824 doesn't have air tubes either. Keep in mind...
