I took my car in for a recall service today and I asked them how much do they charge for an oil change. They told me that I only needed to change the oil every 5,000. Then I ask them that isn't it best to change it every 3 thousand mile or every 3 month?. Then they refused and told me that only every 5000 mile. My first oil change was aftet the brake in period. I put in 2100 miles in it already and it's been 3 month since I last change my oil. Yeah it pretty low for an '03 . So I'm like screw this I'll change it myself. after they finish with the service, I was on the road again. But I decided to check under the hood and see what's up. That little monkey machanic didn't put back a piece of my intake system in. Instead he left it hanging on top of the engine. That kinda pissed me off. So I double check to see what else he didn't put back in. Everything else look fine, from what I notice.

 

take it back to them and talk to the service manager. I highly doubt that guy was a certified evo tech that worked on oyur car. Also, if you have it, show them the maintenance schedule, particularly the hard driving conditions schedule.

My dealer told me that if I follow that one, I can't go wrong.

I can't believe they actually REFUSED to change your oil. It's not like they have to do it for free (or do they??).

 

What part of your intake?

 

what dealer did you get it from a wa one or oreagon one?

 

All mitsubishi dealers are shlt. I got my caliper replaced under warranty and the idiot forgot to bleed my brakes.

I asked my service advisor if he bleed my brakes, because my brakes only work when the paddle is 90% pushed down, and he's like "yes, we bleed your brakes".

It's funny, because I was looking at my car the whole time they were servicing it and not once they took the wheels off to bleed the brakes.

I almost ran into 3 cars that cut in front of me because my brakes werent' engaging fast enough.

Liars. I hate mitsubishi dealers. all of them in GA.

 

The worst part about them is that they don't feel sorry about what they do.

Also they don't ever have parts stocked for eVo's. You have to wait at least a week for things to get to the dealership.

argggg.

 

I hope your not going to wait 5000 miles to do the oil change.......

 

the piece that connected to the air box.

 

HAHA No way man, I gotta go down to see the JGTC race in Cali in december 18 & 19 so I'mma have to get it change soon and plus the oil looked pretty bad so I'mma have to do it myself.

 

washington one.

 

which dealer in wa did you pick it up from, hope it wasn't bruce titus, cause they just flat out suck

 

Yea they told me every 5000 miles as well but I change my own oil and do it between 3500-4000 miles (mostly highway miles)

 

I get my oil analysed on a regular basis and have settled on 5000+ mile oil changes... and I drive the living dog $hit out of my car while producing over 400 crank HP.... but as always, your milage may very
