I have a 2008 Evo X with 23,000 miles on it. Weekend driver, not being driven hard. Well maintained and properly taken care of so far....What type of maintenance steps should I be taken at this time? Drivetrain, trans, fluids, etc......Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Pretty sure the manual says 30k trans and rear diff but I would do them. If you have not changed the air filter you should do so now. This and oil changes will make the engine last forever.

As always using some "performance" filter will cause engine damage by letting crap through and into the engine. I have heard stories of lost compression , dirt in the throttle body and oil consumption after 15k of using a improperly oiled filter and designed to let in more air. They aren't worth the risk.

I have done oil changes and air filter changes every 3000 miles ish both K/N oil and air filters.

So trans and rear diff fluids then?

Yea tranny fluid, front transfer case fluid, and rear diff fluid.

Yeah 30k you look at doing trans, t-case, rear diff. Just FYI if you do your own drain and fills, on the t-case would not overfill it since that could cause further issues and the infamous "death whine"

Thanks for the helpful tips guys. Now I just need to find a good shop in Jersey to do the work

The fluid swaps are really not to hard and are very easy to do yourself. Just need one of those 5 buck hand pumps and a tube with a funnel and a jack!
