Yes, you're due. Make sure they do the transfer case too.

Dude, if you are that close to 30K get everything done:
Collant flush
Tanny fluid
Transfer case fluid
2 fluids for rear diff
Make sure the dealer knows what they are doing.......I spoke to every dealer in WA state and NONE of them could figure out the correct service even though they had a manual........2 dealers actually told me I did not need tranny or dif service....I took it to a specialty shop that had done a couple X 30K services as they knew what to do and had all of the cirrect OEM fluids........Almost all dealers treat the EVO as a regular lancer?

dont let WPB mitsu do it. they'll screw it up and rip you off. Coconut Creek is ok, but still double check EVERYTHING.

If I were you, I'd just take it to AWD Motorsports in coral springs and have them do it. It'll be cheaper, faster, and it'll be done right.

Diaqueen for the transfer case and rear diff, Amsoil 75-90 for the transmission and OE coolant. Hope this helps

bookmarked. I need to get mine changed pretty soon. let's see if I can squeeze that price outta my dealer lol

so which type of diaqueen? Because I use sstf-II in the SST but I assume that will not be used in the transfer case?

thanks!

never ever go to mitsubishi for maintenance ... most of techs there dont care about ur car .. and most of the time they will screw up..

look for a known shop that had done this to X ... if u can watch them while doing it..maybe just maybe .. by ur own fluids (what u nid) then bring it to the shop so can do it cheaper .. alot of vendor sells oem fluid for instance mitsubishiparts.net ..
