i need help about with the evo

I bought the car with 5000 miles on it. It now has 23000 miles on it. I've done oil changes every 3000 miles myself, but nothing else. I've never taken it to the dealer for maintience. It runs good, but i know it could run better. I mad at myself for neglecting my super car. Anyone know what things i should do. Change tranny oil, spark plugs, oil pump? i'm not sure

Oil pump????

Anyway, I would have all the drivetrain fluids changed at around 15000, so your a little overdue... but no worries.

I'm confused. You said you take it to the dealer for maintenance. Why the concern? They are taking care of your worries for you...

First of all he said that he has never taken it to the dealer for maintience. Also you should definantley get new spark plugs and make sure to put some highly synthetic oil in you car, and get a Walbro fuel pump with fuel rail. Good Luck!

My oil changes are free... but i still do them my self and pay for them because i dont want the dealer touching my car.

I probably will take it in for the 30,000 mile..... but it scares me to even think about it....

check in the manual, it gives you what maintenance is to be done and in what intervals.
