Hey guys, I've got 10k miles coming up in a little bit and I want to get a budget laid out for what I'm gonna need to spend. So I need to get some quotes on costs, which means I need to know what you guys recommend having done for 10k miles.

Not sure if I should be doing the diff or any of the other fluids, plus I think there's some recommended blends for trans fluid? I was just gonna put OEM Mitsu fluid in there unless someone has some better ideas.

Right now I've got the following planned:

New Tires (still factory))
Wheel alignment (still factory)
Engine Oil change
Trans Oil change (still factory)

 

Just follow the factory maintenance schedule.

 

You just need an Oil change and your good to go!

 

Unless your tracking the he'll out of the car nothing but a Mobil one oil change is needed. Make sure the oil gets changed every 3k or 3500 if your hyper mile on the interstate everyday.

 

Hmm, I mean it's fine if I wait on the trans fluid change. But I was pretty sure I've read it's recommended to do it sooner to get the metal shavings out from break-in.

But if you're worried about it... might as well do the full fluid change. Trans, transfer and rear diff.

Factory fluid for the rear diff and transfer. Trans... factory, redline or amsoil (search).

 

I did my first oil change at 3500km and then did a trans flush at 6000km. Only did the trans flush because I broke the engine in during mid winter in northern Canada.

 

The car has never seen any tracks or autocrossing, just daily driving through winter and summer, with some "spirited" driving and some 1-2-3 pull shifts.

If you guys aren't worried about it then I'll just skip it for now, getting some tires and an alignment is gonna be pricey enough.
