I recently read about changing the manual transaxle, transfer case, and rear differential fluids on the evo on a regular basis.

And then I go on to calling my dealer asking whether or not they do this everytime I go in for my Pit Pass, thinking that this is just common sense and they would do it anyway. Unfortunately, suprisingly they told me that they don't.......

So fuc* this really sucks .... I've been driving on the same fluids for 18k by now and I'm closing up to a year. The thing I want to know is ... exactly how bad is this for the car?

Thanks a lot guys .... I needa

 

Since when do they need to be changed every 3-5k?????

 

15K is the recomended interval for drivetrain fluids

 

It's the ACD that needs the frequent fluid change. The normal driveline and diff should be good for at least 15,000 miles.

 

The pit pass are usually for oil change and the fluids for the drivetrain are expensive so they won't do that more that it is needed.

 

You are fine. Have you raced it hard? Just go ahead and have the dealer change your trany and deff oil. I just got mine changed for the 2nd time since may.

Mhyar

 

To change the fluids it's really easy. I went over 25,000 before my first change. Not good at all, but now they are all changed and it drives sooooo much better.
