At how many miles should the transmission fluid be changed? This would go for all other fluids that would need to get serviced.

Daily driving? No track days?

I change mine every track day (6 speed), but a general rule is I believe every 15-30k miles.

I change my tranny every 7500 miles because I want that 6 speed to last. So far I have 93,000 miles :D

Where do you take you Evo to get the trans fluid change? I had EZ Lube do it on my WRX one time. :uglystupid2:

EZ lube, ...I'll never use them again.Â* They forgot to put engine oil back in my WRX one time, and I checked it when I got home, and it was empty...Â* Â*bad bad bad.Â* Way before that I had the diff fluid changed... I guess I can't prove they actually did it, but I never had a problem besides that engine oil example.

So besides all the Evo do-it-yourself-ers, does anyone else take their car in for fluid changes ....?

Its not an EASY job. Its STRAIGHTFORWARD and TIME CONSUMING.

Go to evomoto.com and find the maintanence link for the Transmission/Transfercase/Read differential fluid changes.


and a definite MUST is a FLUID PUMP for the Rear differential. Its like $7-$10 bucks at Autozone.
