Confused with servicing

Hi, noob question for you .

When I bought the car I was told servicing was every 4,500 miles or 6 months.

My Evo 8 MR FQ320 has had its 4,500 and 9,000 service and it will be 6 months in mid april.

I would assume I need the 13,500 service mid april but my local ralliart dealer says their PC shows its every 9000 or 12 months so not due until 18,000 or early Nov.

Are they wrong?

Or if you don't do the miles, every 6 months

you must have a service done ,if you have done 4,500 miles but it will be just the oil changes this time i would think.

the rules are a service every 4,500 m

Does £240 sound about right for a 13,500 mile service?

Sounds about right for Mitsi prices but you can get it done a lot cheaper from an independant Evo specialist

We charge half that :shock:

So long as they use genuine mitsi parts and are vat registered you maintain all your warranties

The only other thing to take into account, where the Evo's are concerned is that the gargae you use for servicing are able to bleed your AYC system properly with the MUT II
