I would do it even if your Evo is brand new. I changed mine after 5k and there was metal shavings everywhere and the fluid was nasty.

Yeah, I changed my transfer case at 3k miles and found the same. I'm up near 11k now so I think I might as well.

I guess this isn't going to happen.

Maybe I'll just flush and fill with motul anyway. F!

Damn, sorry to hear that...You guys might still be fine though. People cancel all the time and spots invariably open up.

You should flush your t-case every 5-6K miles. Basically, with every 2nd oil change. That's what the guys in Europe do, and none of them have the t-case complaints we see so often on the US forums. Of course, those guys don't dragrace much at all.
