oil every ~3k or sooner
plugs every~6k or sooner
Tranny flush every ~6k or sooner
Transfer case flush every ~6k or sooner
Rear diff every ~12k or sooner

that is the main stuff that is a very good idea to stay on top of

and as I tell you every time, you no nothing about the Evo lol.

all I gotta say is did i have Tcase and tranny issues like most other Evo owners? and my car had higher miles than most of the guys with isssues and more HP.

Those #'s are not things I just desided were good. They are the standard for the Evo world. the factory requires eerything every 15k witch is WAY to long in between plugs, Tcase and Tranny changes and that is why alot of people have trannys that grind all the time and t cases that whine in all gears rather than 1-2 and eventually break down.

If you want to talk over kill, I did my oil Mobile1 full synthetic every 1500 miles or so. I would do the tranny and T case every spring and my car would only see about 3k miles a year, BUT my tranny shifted like it did the day it came home

And i was making a Joke. As I notice you always seem to post in this section with non sence that is not true, I have told you a million times not to post in the Evo section when you have no clue. Evos are not DSMs they are the same at heart bt they act totally different as you know. I was only trying to make a joke no need to bitch and moan in here.
