Free Oil Change
I have an 05 evo and got a 100k free synthetic oil change from the dealer. My problem is I have turboback, intake, fuel pump, flash, and MBC. Would they take down what I have and *** me out on warrenty when I really need it down the road? Or should I just keep dishing out $40 out my own pocket.

probably...depends on the dealer really...how mod friendly they are.
I would just not mod the car till your warrenty is out...or find a mod friendly dealer, or change your own oil, it's not that expensive (compared to getting your warrenty prematurly voided)...though I know if you don't have to spend the money, we all wouldn't...so those are your 3 choices.

I have the same thing.
You could buy all the oil and the filter from the dealer. Show them the receipts and they will reimburse you for everything. The only thing that sucks is that you have to do the oil change. But that's the cost of moding.
Atleast thats how I do it at the dealer by me.

Awesome! then your problem is answered! Do the oil change yourself...and given the fact you have mods...I'm assuming you would rather enjoy a simple oil change by yourself...

Don't be a puss take it in. I think the amount of money plus time you will save on oil changes would be worth it. Unless you f up your tranny right away, but then your screwed anyway.
