Wuts up everyone, i just hit 30,000 on my car ...... should i go get the 30 k mile service at the dealer ??? is it really necessary ?? i just got my evo and im learning new stuff everyday !!! thanks

 

same question here

 

Its a pretty easy service... if you have minimal skillz you could do it yourself and save quite a bit of loot...

 

Yes it's very nessary if you want your engine and drivetrain to last. You don't have to go to the dealer though. You could go to just about any shop that you trust and get the same work done for alot cheaper than what mitsu will charge you. Or you can do it yourself if you have alittle bit of mechanical knowledge

 

what is involved with the service

 

here is a thread of the service we offer here in Maryland... I'm sure you could find another shop that you trust to do the same work.

thats a decent amount of stuff and it takes a while to change the drive line fluid may let the dealer do it

 

changing the drivetrain fluids isn't hard just DIY. Save money for other parts

 

The only reason i would do it at the dealer is because i want the car to have a good backround check if i ever sell it in the future, which i dont think i will, but you never know ... it cost 500 with tax around my way and my mechanic told me its worth it ... i think imma go for it ... anyone know how long they keep my car for .... i dont wanna be driving my sisters MONTERO SPORT

 

what is the cost of just the materials to do this. I am at 29,500 right now and will most likely do this myself. Is autozone or something like that the best place to get the items to do this?

Very necessary. I would do it yourself though and just save the receipts.

 

+1^^ that's what i'm going to try when i hit 30k.

 

Cost of your own supplies is under $100... cost of your time... well that's your own call Some of the things like changing clutch fluids and the tranny fluid can be trying on your patience if you have zero tools or experience. But, it makes you feel a hell of a lot better when you did it yourself and know it's done.

 

Changing the drivetrain fluids is just like changing the oil. Check www.evomoto.com for a full write up on how to do it and it'll tell you what tools and such you'll need.

 

I would for sure do your service, like everyone else said do it your self and just keep your receipts.
