I want to do an oil change so I picked up the car and found the drain plug but theres a wore connected right to the plug... What is that? I don't want to do anything and make more problems.. So what do I do with that wire?
Thanks

 

Sorry guys... That was a dumb question.
Mods can you please delete? Thank you

 

Do you have a factory oil temp gauge? If so I believe that's the temp sensor, a two wire harness with a connection clip 6" or so away.

 

I assume by his name he has the MR gauges and that's the temp sensor like you thought.

 

There are no dumb questions.
But yes, Mitsu guage pack oil temp sensor built into drain plug.

 

Oh ok. Thanks!
Honestly didn't know that it was for the oil temp gauge.

 

I have the gauge pack on my 8 gsr, came like that from the dealer. My drain plug has a swivel for the wire so I dont have unclip mine. Anyone else? Also is it normal that an `03 VIII GSR came with the 3 gauge pack and a sunroof? Never put much thought into it till now.

 

I also have an 03 with that gauge pack. And a different strut bar then the rest of Evo's that I have seen. And a lancer wing

 

Did yours come with a rear strut bar as well? Does your front strut bar have the red brackets on itwhere the firewall bar meets the strut bar at the struts?

 

Yes on the red brackets and no on the rear strut bar. I think it's ralliart not sure tho.

 

Thats what I was thinking too, not sure tho. Anyone know about this? I wonder why mine ended up with the rear strutbar too? The `03 models are a bit of an odd ball I think. I believe the strutbars, guage pack, rear strutbar and sunroof were some options from the dealer. Yours have a sunroof?

 

Nada on the sunroof. But it did come with a blue mitsubishi motors shift knob and matching blue peddles.

 

Back on topic! I also have the wire coming off the drain plug. Is there a replacement for the plug/sensor thingy?

 

On my '04 Evo, the aluminum strut brace with the red corner covers was a Mitsubishi option. I ordered it, and the "MR" gauges when I placed the order for the car. They were installed when I took delivery.

 

Do want! Did your come with those from the dealer? Or did you buy used?

Good question, would like to know this myself. Not sure if mine has the plug, how far up the wire is yours? Does yours have the swivel on the drain plug for the wire?
