Hey All,

I just bought a 2004 RR Evo VIII from the Evom Member Elf. It has 26,500k miles and about 10k in mods from AMS. I am wondering what I should do in terms of maintenance. This car is putting down 497awhp and obviously with stock drivetrain (minus the clutch), it needs some fluid changing.

I am thinking that I need to change the following:
-Front Differential
-Rear Differential
-Transmission
-Oil (I already did this, with new filter and crush bearing)

Anything else that I am missing?

Transfer case?

 

mobil 1 or whatever in engine
BGII/redline/whatever in transmission
diaqueen in transfer case
diaqueen in rear diff

 

Spark plugs?

 

wow is this ur first EVO?

That's a very powerful car u got there.

 

use diaqueen in rear diff and transfercase

and check your spark plugs as mentioned above

 

be sure to check your plugs.

 

Don't crash

 

Yes it is my first Evo... =). I have not crashed, I am a pretty responsible driver... haha. I change the spark plugs every oil change (2500-3000 miles, or after every track day).

I am taking it to AMS for them to change every fluid for me =)

DANG! That often on plugs? Are you running super rich or super lean and need to change them that often? Or, are you buying cheap ones because you do it every oil change. I checked mine at 10k, checked them at 20k and they still are in good condition.

Then again, i am all stock

 

Stock plugs are Iridium and last a long time unless you start modding a lot and upping the boost. He is probably referring to copper plugs, but I'm not sure what he means by saying he changes the plugs every 2500-3000 when he has never owned an Evo before, so either he's referring to different cars (not sure why you'd do that on other cars), or he's referring to his future plans as past actions. Even with the Evo as it is now, it won't make sense to change the oil or plugs that often unless he's racing frequently.

 

Making Close to 500hp and likly using Copper plugs VS the stock Irridiums. You'll need to change them often. Im sure elf told you the ins and outs. Plus you've been reading on here a while. You'll be fine. Good luck

 

Damn Warr you fast I couldnt get it out quick enough

 

So changing all the fluid in a new EVO really necessary?

 

lol why are you vchanging you spark plugs every 3,00 miles hehe isnt it every 60k lol
