hey guys i just hit 3000 miles on my evo mr do i change it now or at 5000 some say changing it now is not good for it some say change it at 3000 and is it easy like most cars to change it or something the dealer has to do thanks

 

check out the how to on evom.net of good pics and directions.

 

Do what makes you feel best,yes changing the oil is the same as any other car.Just be sure to NOT overfill.

 

Change it. IMO waiting 5000 miles to do the first oil change or any oil change in a performance car is way too long. Personally I would've done my first oil change at 500-1500 miles just to make sure there's no metal shavings and what not in the oil, but that's just me. And changing the oil is a easy 30 min. job.

 

i changed mine at 1000 and then every 3000 since then with no problems or oil consumption. i'd change it if i were you.

 

I must be a nut LOL

I changed mine at 500 miles, 1000 miles, 2,900miles

 

o dude you should of changed it at 1k miles. your whip is so screwed for life.











j / k change it now man

 

thanks guys and one more thing how many quarts do i need

 

get a 5 quart jug from wal-mart, usually pretty cheap there, that'll be plenty. add 4, start it, and add from there.

 

I changed mine at 3k and have been changing it every 3k since. It usually takes the full 5 qts.

 

Should be like 5.5 quarts.....the owners manual tells you exactly and yes DONT overfill....how often you change your oil is your call.....if its new the first should be done IMO before 2000 is up....then its FINE to change it every 3000 but if you want to change it sooner thats fine its like changing your underwear 3 times a day instead of once better sooner than later.

 

lol thanks

 

change mine every 1000 royal purple 10w30 in summer 5w30 in winter

 

Ok I did a little search and it might just be me....But here goes, How the heck do u remove the Oil Screw for an MR? mines have the stupid oil line from the sports gauge connecting to it and I thought I asked before I go crazy and yank it out! Hehe.
