Does anyone actually change the coolant hoses and drive belt like the maintenance manual says to do at 60K?
I've spoken to the largest local dealership, which gets a good number of Evo's, as well as a local mechanic for a reputable shop. Both told me they think it's unnecessary, and havent ever seen anyone proactively change coolant hoses or drive belts.

I do track my car, so I want to be diligent, but my drive belt and hoses are visually in great shape. Obviously I can check it occasionally and any visible deterioration would prompt me to replace right away.

 

Feels more like a 100k wear item to me with todays materials.

 

I think I'm just going to monitor the belts and hoses going forward, until around 100K

 

Did my 60K not long ago. Just did a visual inspection of the coolant hoses and drive belts. As you have noticed, they're in pretty good shape. So on they stay.

 

I had to go to the dealership to pick up a few parts, coolant and such. Both people I spoke to there said they've never seen an EVO X proactively changing either hoses or belts. It's just a monitor type of item.
They see more EVOs than anyone in the state, aside from maybe one or two local performance shops that specialize in a few cars, Evos included.
