It seems I do maintenance at my dealership maybe perhaps more then i should I've only put 24,000 km on it but I've changed the Oil and filter at every 5k mark (4k this time) and recently got the transaxel fluid changed. Am I being over cautious? I was also going to get my brake fluid flushed.

just curious don't know much about maintenance on cars?. :S

 

Pretty normal imho. I'm going to flush at the 10K mark.

 

By flush what do you mean? (just brakes?)

 

Yeah, brakes. I want to get rid of the factory fluids too while I'm at it and put some fresh juice in.

I'm nearing 5K and I gotta get my oil and filter changed. :s

 

my oil gets changed every 2500 miles

 

no keep it up it will help so much in the long run

 

I need to get my fluids changed as well. How many of you use AMSOIL?

 

I work at a performance shop all our cars up to the the big hp cars are serviced with royal purple

 

I think I might have a slight case of OCD so its hard for me not to be careful with my Evo, cleaning it is an all day job I have to get into the nooks and crannies otherwise I feel like I'm going to snap.

 

You think changing oil every 5k miles is to soon? Haha. I change mine every 2500. And I use Amsoil.

Royal purple sucks and I will never use that **** again. I can say that based on my personal experience and almost all test results show it is not on the same level as other synthetic oil.

 

I drained mine at 2k lol had to put the amsoil in it and used an oem oil filter. any suggestions on a better filter?

 

Most of us use the OEM Mitsu filter. It's cheap and it's been proven to work.

OP is talking in kilometers, not miles, but still, he definitely isn't hurting anything (other than potentially his wallet) by the frequent fluid changes. I probably do mine too often too, but better too soon than too late... It really all depends on driving conditions and style though, I have a friend who waited until after 30k miles to change his drivetrain fluids and they came out looking factory fresh.

 

Naw bro keep doing what you're doing.

 

I don't think you are doing anything out of the ordinary. The maintenance schedule for us in Canada is for use to change the oil every 4,800kms anyways. So you are pretty much doing what the dealers ask for.

 

I change my oil about ever 4k miles, but 4k km won't hurt anything, it's just possibly a waste of money.

I don't intend to swap any major fluids till closer to 20k miles.
