I've got a couple of friends who are going to help and show me how to fully service my Evo 5, which I am pretty excited for.

Been asked to suss out fluids and part numbers.

I have found this link and was wondering anyone in the know how, can confirm these parts for an OEM service.

All can be found on http://www.mitsubishiparts.net

I have carted up all the items ready to buy, just need to confirm that I am buying the correct parts.

Also was told to get Iridium spark plugs, yes?

Any help is appreciated.
 
mate,
when your done, post up all the stuff you guys did as mine is due for a service and i wanna do as much as i can!
also, include the do's and dont's cause i WILL need them :p
 
Will do for sure man :) , I'll be taking pics too for future ref. so I'll post them up also.
 
That site doesn't sell to international buyers.. trying to suss out Diaqueen products more local at a simmilar price is hard, might have to look to other brands.
 
GET COPPERS!

Iridium plugs are much better for N/A cars compared to turbo cars. Being a turbo, higher cylinder pressures can cause the iridium's to "blow out" as they have thinner spark points

I've already gone with Iridium.

After reading your post though, I've been reading up on heaps of Iridium vs Copper plugs.. a lot of mixed responses.
Have to make sure the plugs are gapped properly. If I have issues I'll suss out the coppers! Thanks for the info though :)
 
I've read into it a lot, and literally, the only difference is longevity of the plug if you get the right plug for your car. Gap it to your coilpacks and to blow out and you'll be fine. The contact area thing seems like a bit of BS imo, if you're getting the right iridium plugs for your engine then you won't have an issue with thinner spark points...
 
denso plugs are the way to go. gap them to .8 especially if youre going to up the boost. you might find .7 works too depending on the heat range and the amount of boost you run.

for longer life cycles and better combustion, a COP coversion is the way to go. at least with an evo the plugs are easy to change, so upto you. spend big and change them rarely or buy cheap copper plugs, gap them to suit and change them every oil change cause they'll be poop.

as for service:

fuel filter
oil
oil filter
100k service if its yet to be done (cause it 100k or 10years, how old is the car)
gearbox oil
transfercase oil
diff oil (same as transfer)
ayc oil
 
Thanks man, thinking about getting the AYC done by mitsubishi and doing the rest with my friends.
