diff and tranny fluids, when should u change them
well someone told me to look in the manual for the recommended mileage change. well the manual only says to add more fluid if the level is low. but i've notice some of you have change their fluids already. i only have 2000 miles on my evo, so i just wanted to know what mileage and mileage intervals you recommend for these fluid changes. since some of you have had your evo for a while now.
if any of the vendors like, turbo trix, vishnu, buschar, and anyothers with modified evos have any recommendations it would be highly appreciated.

15k i think is for the whole driveline. I dont have the manual on hand with me as i am in work, but I remember it in the back section of the booklet that comes with your car in the back in the maintenance intervals section.

I changed mine at about 3K and then again and 6K. Yeah, overkill but it's nice knowing I have fresh fluids in the driveline.
You need a new clutch, so they will put in new tranny fluid then. You can waint on the center and rear diff for now.

after hearing this it made me want to change mine also, but the question is I don't know where they are located? I'm totally new to cars. Sorry for the dumb questions. While I'm here the manual said to fill the Manual transaxle and transfer oil as needed, and uh...where are these located?
22K miles. Synthetic fluid used: Redline for tranny, Mobil for diffs.
3 center diff oil changed. Very easy only 1/2 quart needed
2 rear diff oil changed. Very easy only 1/2 quart needed
2 tranny oil changed. Little more work 3 quarts needed
I'll say do the center diff change more offen. The rear don't need as much.
Tranny should be done before 5K miles then again at 15K to clean out any debris.
After that every 15 to 20K should be fine.
