Your Lancer appears to be modified into an AWD with a turbo...warranty denied/voided.

Give them the middle finger. You have rights, that's one of them. Another one of your rights is the right to ***** and moan until they validate your warranty again. Clearly this is wrong and I'm sure it'll all be sorted out soon. Good luck my friend.

Peace

holy crap. i would love to be in the situation ur in because i would have a field day with which ever b@5+@rD serviced my car and make him feel like a dumb piece of dog turd that should be flipping burgers instead of working there. if all the evo owners that were denied of the warranty contact that FCC, then the should look into the business ethic that mitsu has. just my 2 cent. man, stupid techie.

Oil changes & warranty

I've got an 05 Evo8 with about 3750 miles on the clock.

I did my own oil change @ 1k miles, and I'm about ready to do another. My question is, if I do my own oil changes, will it affect my warranty, as I'm not getting the dealer signature in my warranty book?

Thanks,

Lee
