I don't have documentation with me but isn't the 15k service just like, new oil, new oil filter, and new air filter?

I think they change the air and cabin filter as well, certainly not worth $369

I've heard all kinds of stuff about void warranty becuase of doing maintnance somewhere else, but I think it's only if you buy a extended warranty from a 3rd party. I could be totally wrong though.

OT - I thought you where selling??

If the RA's follow a similar maintenance schedule with the Evo X then this should provide some useful information.

I'll check the manual again..but the differential/t-case fluids are only "checked" for the first 25-30k or so miles. No changing of those yet, I don't think. I could be wrong though - I'll check when I can get my hands on the manual.

Side note; I'm dreading 60k miles...SST Fluids need to be changed. SST Diaqueen fluid is pretty much worth its weight in gold.

Yeah I still am, but as of now it's still my car and I'm going to continue to take care of it until I sell it.

Most likely, I wont end up selling up. It's tough, maybe someone will buy it, who knows.

im in no rush.

Oh really? I have evo 8, 15k change is what is recommended. I wonder what they say for the evo 10?

np, I was looking for the in-cabin air purifier and ran into that thread. Lucky I was browsing the mitsuparts forum I guess.
