So... this is what the oil pan on a 47K mile 2005 Lancer Evolution is SUPPOSED to look like. I had no idea. Sure seems like all that must have come from the warranty voiding gnomes that live in my engine bay. (The car is BONE stock) Bastards... I guess this makes perfect sense. If you don't have ALL the service records on your EVO it'll spin bearings.

 

^^^ Gulfport??? were u at the track wednesday? wing or wingless?

 

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN! what did you take your evo to the beach with no oil pan? looks like sand!

 

What oil did you use?

 

Mobil 1 synthetic... (I'm not however the origianl owner which is why i didn't fight the warranty battle too hard)

I've never run the car. I've only really beat on it 2 or 3 times in the 3 months sense i got it.

it's about 50/50 that the previous owner neglected it or that it's a genuine factory defect. Who knows... Looks like an AMS 2.3 block in my near future.

 

Some of the spots are just the oil mixing with carb cleaner but all that down in the bottom of the pan... that's a bearing. The #1 bearing to be exact.

Now i gotta figure out why it did this...

 

MAN THAT SUCKS..... mitsu voided my warranty with 1500miles on the car i had a seized caliper and they said i was racing the car and voided it

 

That whole situation sucks rob. I read everything on nosr and if there is anything i can do let me know.

 

evo+warrenty= owned

mitsubishi does not like evo owners :/

 

i dont know how everyone has problems with mitsu dealers. i mean i did in hawaii and just in ny. but here in va beach they have replaced my steering wheel, the plastic around the key hole. and no at 60030 i am gettin my cv axle replaced under warrenty. i guess you need to talk to other dealers and actually give them businsess. all i do is get oil done there

 

i have had all my calipers replaced under warranty because of the fluid making them discolor. No problems at all getting them to install new ones-JOEYD

 

Wow that dont look good. GL with the rebuild.

 

I was there too in the black evo. I didn't think there were any problems that night.

 

This didn't happen at the track. It happend friday before last driving home from work.

 

sucks to know man. how did you know something wasn't right before you remove the oil pan?
