Hey guys,
So I have an Evo X GSR 2010. Purchased jan 2011. I've gone through the maintenance schedule and to me it seems like I had to take the car in to the dealership every 5k miles. Well I haven't done so..... what do you guys recommend I get done? flush any fluids etc? My driving style is not aggressive. I drive speed limit and the car's been max revved about 6 times in its lifetime so far. I change the oil myself about 3-4k mile intervals. I changed the air filter to a stock sized K&N and just clean it every year. Been rotating the tires, still on my stock advans, they're almost bald will change the soon. Any input would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

 

You should get an award for getting 20k miles on the stock advans. I'm like you, I don't drive my car very hard, but my stock tires had to be replaced after 14k miles.

How are your brake pads? Last month I had my rotors shaved and I had new brake pads installed. I'm at 21k miles right now.

Edit to say: you posted this in the Evo 1-9 forum. Maybe the mods will be kind and move this for you...

 

I would just suggest going through the recommended list for maintenance and inspections. Just go down the list and knock out each recommended thing.

I myself just hit 19k miles on my 9 and did oil, transmission, transfer case, rear diff and coolant + sent all oils to Blackstone for analysis. I also had the annoying crank sensor blade issue, so while in there I replaced all belts with gates racing lineup and replaced all idlers & tensioners with OEM or Gates parts. Also did a standard visual inspection on everything else, brakes, suspension, tire wear etc etc

 

The car was all over the place in this last snow we had in the north east right after sandy, new tires are on the list bigtime, you're right i did post this in the wrong section, newbie mistake

 

Forgot to answer something, break pads look fine visually, seems like I can still go about 5-6k easily, Although I do see some lines forming on the rotors itself but no effect in performance..... I posted this in the Evo X General

 

Wow, you have low miles for having a 9.
