what service would you guys do at 12K?

i did all the normal services per mitsubishi manual, which I would like to be picky.


Is it worth to flush/change tranmission fluid?

power streering fluid?

normal

so far good
just carefully and nice

I drive it in the city.
It is tempting but never got a ticket

I am planning to flush some fluids and perhaps make a list of items to change

the car is in great shape but i want it to last longer

Tranny, transfer case plus rear diff, oil change

No need to do powersteering or brake fluid.

You wanna see what my tranny fluid looked like after 5000 miles

Should be your 4th oil change...hopefully you've already Flushed the Rear Diff so thats do-able too but not A really big deal...your coming up on doing the T-case so thats the main thing.
Tranny fluid I would do everytime the T-Case is do IMO (15k intervals).

Mainly...use the Fluids they recommend! GL-5 Tcase and diff...Penn or BG synchro for the trany.Mobil 1 oil and OEM filter.

but depending on how you drive it al kinda depends but I think 30k is when I would do coolant & brake fluid if its all still OEM fluid in there.

Power steering should be Good for a Long time unless you Track/Auto-X

Flush rear diff...drive for a few 100 miles then Flush again if its the 1st time doing it.Makes sure everything is out of there since Break-in.
