I'm not sure if they would sell something like that, someone else will know. But in the mean time if you search around in the Lancer forums you will find a lot of useful information.

Here is a "HOW TO" on changing your own oil.

I work at autozone and we carry the haynes manuals. I looked in our computer system and can only find alldata. I couldn't find a haynes or chilton manual for any Lancer, starting with the mirages. Alldata works well and gives you updates on recalls and stuff, but isn't as convenient as a book you could have out in the garage with you.

Well that HOW TO on oil change was for the 4b11 and I have an '03 lancer. Is there something like that for my car? I really just need to know what tools I will need to bleed the oil and to take the filter off, the rest I can figure out. Thanks.

Its actually really easy, I can do it all without jacking the car up.

Edit:
