As I'm browsing through the forum threads there are way to many people asking how much of such and such fluid should they put in their car, thus I'm going to post Mitsubishi's suggested amounts of x fluid for a 2006 Evo MR straight from the owner's manual. Yes, please read yours if you have it as it'll answer a lot of the topics found on this forum.
