hey guys, i notice that some of you had civic si's before having the evo. Can those of you who had the civic tell me a little bit on the cost of maintenance compared to the evo. Like basically oil changes, tranny fluids, and maybe like life span of a turbo, diff fluids, labor, and etc. I just want to see if i could afford to keep an evo

if it makes a difference... im in Canada so i think the prices are much different here since there are like basically no evo viii or ix's around here.


* this is the right thread right? *

 

well,it all depends if you want to use Quality parts/fluids on your evo,an Oil change cost around 50 dollars for me,because i use AMS oil,it could cost around 25 dollars if i used Mobile 1.

my turbo has lasted 80K miles,and seen 28 PSI on a monthly basis...
if you take your car to the dealer for maintenance....prepare to spend ALOT!!!

and tires are very expensive compaired to a civic

 

You could maintain six civics for the price to maintain a evo.

 

Scary thought ain't it.

 

ZOMG -_-'

 

im gonna have to agree with that

 

zomeone say something comforting plz!!!

 

Not to mention the cost of premium fuel.

 

Dont forget insurance. We are one of the most expensive cars to insure.

 

If you are a DIY guy it won't cost a whole lot.It's when you have a shop do it for you that cost more.

 

Evo's have the higher cost to maintain, but that's the price you have to pay for the admission ticket of the "ROLLER COASTER" ride you get in the Evo. hahaha

 

I had a 2000 Civic SI before the Evo and maintenance for the evo is 10 times more then the civic. Killer on gas alone lol but its worth it.

 

Not to mention the speeding tickets.

 

Isn't there like this thing about evos in Canada?? and Civic normal 02.. not bad...

 

evos are way more expensive than civics to keep up with maint.Oil change for my old honda was like 30 for my evo its like 60 i use amsoil
