Just got my 2005 evo 8 and want to change the oil I was told by a couple shops that it uses 5 2/5 qt of mobil 1 fully synthetic...is this true? that seems like a lot of oil for a 2.0L. Two, what is the best way to test and see if your clutch is going out.

Thanks

 

It uses just under 5 quarts. Owners manual for exact spec.

Clutch, it grabs high off of the floor it may be worn, or do a 3rd gear full throttle pull to see if it slips.

 

4.33qts.

The displacement of the engine has nothing to do with the engine oil capacity.

 

thanks...also anyone know any good intakes to look at. I saw an injen I i like but I want to know what will give me the most bang for my buck.

 

research it all depends on the way you want to go with your car in the end.

 

I have an Injen. It's a nice intake, I guess. I don't like the UICP though. I'm going to get rid of it and get a Buschur intake and pipe kit. The Injen works fine though.

 

I'm curious why u hate the UICP?

 

I always add around 4.75 quarts of mobil 1 oil everytime I do an oil change.

For the intake I would just do a drop in filter if you wanted best bang for the buck. It keeps the intake stock looking so cops won't hassle but you can still get decent power gains.

 

I dont really need to worry about the cops unless they are already pissed at me. I live in southern part of illinois...most people dont even know what an evo is.

 

Well they don't add any real power and most guys just end up replacing them in the end. UICPs are more for throttle response and bling. Injen pipes follow the stock path so it isn't cutting out any bends.

I'd say take the $300-400 you would spend on the Injen kit and get just a Buschur or Apexi air filter. The Injen kit may seem like a good deal, but I don't think it is IMHO.

 

EXACTLY! Perfectly said. Too many bends.
