hello everyone i just purchased an evo a few weeks ago and i now have about 1400 miles on it....i called a mitsu dealer and they told me my first service should be at 7500miles.....i've heard diff from friends and from forums that you should get it done @ around 1500 and then every 3 to 6 k miles after ...what are your opinions? and how often should you rotate tires?

thanks

 

I go by Mitsubishi's manual -- every 5k. Follow the manual and you'll be ok

 

Im not sure if this is right or not but I just got mine to and I had it serviced at 1xxx miles and Im going to after every 3k miles.

 

yah i see that mits has a service schedule for severe and regular driving....the severe maintence says to change oil every 3 k...and regular maint...says every 7,500k....so i guess depending on your driving...from 3-7,500 miles.....

 

i would go w/ every 5k

 

7500 miles is for regular lancer... did you told them that you have an Evo?
the manual says it should be 5000 miles

 

I go by the manual. Hey, they built the thing

 

contrary to popular belief, the manual is very helpful

 

Your friends and the forums are correct.
1.5K miles for the 1st and 3K miles there after ...

 

Change your oil yourself at least once and take a look at the oil after 3000 miles. It is ready to be changed (probably even before that). I would not go more that 3000 miles. If you are more of a "spirited" driver, more often than that even. Just my opinion.
