Does anyone know when a good time to change your brand new 05 evo
Im thinking 3000k but I've heard 3500...and my maintenance manual doesnt specify it.

 

1000 miles is a good idea for the first oil change, most people change every 3,000 miles after that.

 

accdg to manual it's every 5K mi or every 6 mos, w/c ever comes first

 

yea, i went to the dealership to get one at 3,000 miles one of the guys recommended i just wait til 5,000 miles.

 

For your first oil change 1k miles is definetely reccomended. Also, don't use synthetic oil for the first 1k, use some petroleum based cheap-o crap to let everything seal correctly. Then use some good synthetic (5w-30, 10w-30, 10w-40) depending on your temperature operating range.

 

i only have 3.5K mi but it has been 6 months since i got it so accdg to dealer it's time for 1st oil change

 

Every 2k.

 

Mob one suppose to last as long as 10k miles
but i would change the first one aroudn 1500 then 3000 then every 5k

 

Since the factory puts in Mobile1 Synthetic from the start I don't see how this is possible.

 

I think First at Mitsubishi Factory they Test The motor and running motor for few hour then pass and sent to Oversea.

Depends on how much racing i do. Most of the time its just 5,000miles if i do a lot of racing then 3,000

 

I changed the first one at 1,000 miles and every 3,500 miles after that.

 

I change at 3k even though the manual recommends 5k. For harder driving conditions... change more often.

 

i just do it every 3k...that way it's easy enough to keep track.

 

my first oil change, i did it at 750 miles. then every 2500 miles i changed it. just cause i know that sometimes i'm a little hard on the car so why not change it a little bit earlier then 3000.
