my evo is new so should i change oil when it reach 1000 miles or wait till 3000

 

My mechanic friend changed my oil at 1150 miles, he said there is no metal shaving found but the oil is very dark. Just change it, it doesn't cost much anyway.

 

is mitubishi dealer the only place tat use mobile 1 oil

 

u can request it at certain places. not sure of where your from but if you have anything like a sam's or a price club where they sell everything in bulk ide suggest buying oil there. i get cases of mobil1 for $24.00 and some change.

 

Just do the oil change yourself. It's easy and it prob. takes more time to drive it to and from a place and wait for the oil to be changed. Plus, then you know that Mobil 1 is actually getting put in there.

 

I changed mine at 1500 and 3000.

Make sure if you get your oil changed somewhere else they use mobil1 and u might want to bring an oem filter. Most places will use fram or some other crap.. you don't want that!

I had mine changed at the dealer twice for 66 dollars. Now I change it myself for under 30

 

Well merry christmas

 

so wat filter does the evo need?

 

use oem. They're good... well they used to be good. one's that's made in japan and not malaysia.

it's the short one and not the long one.

 

I would change it right after breaking it in and then regularly..

I would do 1000 and then 3000, 6000, 9000 but of course that's just me. You can do one more change at 1500 just to make sure all the metals from breaking in are out...

 

what spark plugs ?

 

i waited till 2500 to change mine to mobil 1 5w-30 synthetic

 

I heard you should get rid of the stock oil as soon as possible and run it for 500 miles with non synthetic oil then change it back to synthetic. Of course you can't really take off with the non-synthetic engine and I honestly don't believe the whole " drive the hell out of it to break it in" theory.

They usually put in some sort engine break in chemical with your first oil to help your engine break in properly and seal everything.

 

hey the car have been over 5000 rpm for few times is that gonna affect the overall performance and life of the car?

 

no
