Hi,

I've been so out of it for so long... sorry guys. But looking for some advice now...

I am new to living up here in the Silicon Valley / Bay Area and really need a recommendation on a shop or dealer that can change out all the fluids on my '10 MR (except for the radiator fluid and brake fluid.) What I need changed:

1. Transmission (MR)
2. Transfer Case
3. Differential
4. Engine Oil
5. Power Steering
6. All the associated fluids to do with the evo's torque vectoring (sorry I forgot all the names)

I would prefer to get the fluids and filters from the same people, and only order them separately if I must. I prefer just to use the OEM stuff, except for the engine oil.

Dealers are fine (and if they could hook me up with a better price, even better).

Anyone have suggestions? Would totally appreciate it!

Thanks!

I went to FFTEC for the SST transmission oil change. The experience was good, and I am going back next month for the T-case and rear differential oil change.
SpeedElement should be another reputed shop in Bay Area as well, but it's a little far away from my house lol

I email GST couple months ago. They said they no longer work on Evo's .

FFTEC can def help you out. They can provide all of the fluids and perform the work so everything is handled seamlessly.

Let us know what they charge to do the diff and transfer case change, about to be 30k miles and I wanna get mines done too. Thanks!

EDIT: Would it be a good idea to do rear and front differentials. Is either one more important?

Dave W.

The front diff is located inside the transfer case, so they share the same oil.
From what I've seen, if you launch the car hard it'll put more wear on the transfer case. If you do open track sessions it puts more strain on the rear diff. Neither is especially weak tho. Just change them both at the same time.
