I'm ordering the redline power-pack for the evo. It has all the fluids you need for $96.

Don't change the plugs, stock drain plugs are magnetic to hold metal fragments.

But there are a lot of non-magnetic parts in there too.

I almost have 15k on my car and was wondering when should the differential and transfer case oils be changed? My car is on the free maintenance plan at mitsu, wonder if they do it and if so how at what mileage?

I just changed mine. I have 17,000 miles on the car. BG Synchroshift in the tranny, Super Diaqueen in the transfer case (I have an MR), and Redline in the rear diff. Car feels great. I think you should change the BG every 2 oil changes, though.

Mitsubihi is not sure what they use in there drivetrains. I orderd Diaqueen from TRE for the TC and rear diff and Pensoil Syncromesh in the tranny. Car shifts better everyday
