Hi everyone. New to this forum. From Minnesota area. Pickin up an 05 evo mr in the next week. I am seriously hardcore researchin this car in and out....So my first question is, is it ok to use fully synthetic oil on this car (got about 4500 miles on it)....or should i wait. Thanks for your feedback...peace.

 

They come from the factory with mobil 1,don't use regular oil.

 

noooooo, you havent researched enough!! use FULLY SYNTHETIC MOBIL1 10W30

edit** welcome to the forum

 

Hardcore research, yet the car has a Mobil 1 synthetic factory fill oil cap....

Good luck

 

hardcore researching as we speak....you guys are too much....also what is flash???

 

When you open your trench coat in front of women with nothing on undereath.

 

Oh man...

Seriously dude search. ALso look on other sites, search re-mapping Ecu...

Honeslty, the most important things you need to know about the Evo:

1. Tempermental car (compared to Hondas), treat it as such. Relatively expensive to maintain.

2. Others may bicker about other choices, but always use OEM fluids on your drivetrain and get it serviced at the recommended intervals. You run the risk of tranny/transfer case/diff damage with other "equivilent" fluids.

3. The Evo's capabilities are far higher than yours as a driver (unless your a professional racer, from your post Ill assume not). Learn to control every aspect of the car in its stock tune. Move on slowly from there. Track days, autocrosses are great learning tools. The public road is not...

Good luck and welcome.

 

ok the deal with the 05 mr didnt work...just pickin up the 5speed one now, same year...plus cheaper...
