Service Question
So, my car is reaching 10000 miles, so its about time for me to take it in for the 10k mi service. The problem, however, is that my dealership is a bunch of ******, and there aren't many mitsu dealerships around me. So i was going to call the dealership, give them a list of my mods, and ask them if they'd still honor the warranty for the service. If not, i'd get everything done elsewhere. So, my question is: What do they do on the 10k mi service? Would it be something i can take elsewhere to do? Thanks a lot!

you should have a little service book in with the owners manual that will spell it out. IIRC. 10k on the regular schedule is just lube, oil, filters, tire rotation, brake inspection, and a fluid check. 15k is the big one that includes the fluid changes. If you have a car that has the factory maintenece included for 5 year 45k mi the dealer is required to honor it, they may note the modification in the service history and restrict the b-b warrenty in the event of future failures. YMMV,

Why even mod then if you want to keep your warranty? As GregK said 10K will just involve an oil change, oil filter change and tire rotation. Possibly airfilter change but you have a K&N cone (which in my opinion is a bad idea because it messes with you MAF signals). But if you drive you car hard or have mods you should be doing oil changes every 3K miles. According to the factory manual, major fluid changes (engine, tranny, diffs, TC and coolant) and spark plugs are done at the 30K mile mark but again if you drive hard they should be done at the 15K mile mark. Hope that helps ...
