Hey guys i picked my crackrock on wheels friday and it has 60k on her. (06 MR) I read in another forum last week there is a pretty important serviceing at 60k. Could anyone help me on what all needs to be changed and checked. Thanks alot and coming from a honda guy I LOVE THIS CAR. so glad i changes from my S2K

 

You are safe with the t-belt till 70k,that is what my clients have done without problems.Rollers and waterpump are recommended at this time.

 

Why not take care of the t belt since you're already in there?

 

I mean rollers and pump when doing the belt replacement!

 

thank you very much what do you use for front and center diff and what type of engine oil Syn or non SYN. I just want to be sure and thats why i love this site alreadey hasnt been 10 mins and im already finding help. thanks again guys for all your info

 

Definitely full synthetic oil. You are going to get a TON of recommendations of fluids on here. A bunch of people run AMSOIL products, Redline products..it really boils down to personal preference and how much $ you want to spend. I experimented with a couple different fluids, and went right back to the OEM stuff. But that was MY personal preference.

 

Do the whole 60k service AT or before 60k. Including timing belt, balance shaft belt, water pump w/ gasket, timing belt hydraulic tensioner, some people replace all the pullies, etc. Do it right. A lot of work.

 

I'm currently at 70k on my 05 RS. I will be having this service done as soon as the car gets out the body shop.

 

thanks again guys for such a quick response. Do you know what kind of $$$ we are talking $1000- $2000?

 

Your looking between 400-500 in parts then 200-400 in labor depending on where you bring it.

After you've done a few you get pretty quick at it. Parts kit found here

not sure on cost.

 

I know that AMS runs a special on that sometimes. Out the door was between 7-8 hundo, and they had my car back to me in a day~!!! Call and ask but def do the timing belt when you do the water pump.

 

drift, zues, and gsr, thanks alot guys this really helps me out, i really appriciategood help

 

pm Russell from mitsubishi.net on here. He will hook you up with a good price

 

for the front diff/transfer case and rear diff you need to use Diaqueen oil....nothing else....

tranny needs Sycromesh fluid of some kind...i use Amsoil.

and Mobil 1 engine oil or Amsoil...just a fully Synthetic oil.
