Engine Air Filter:

Inspect every 7,500 miles (12,000 km), replace as needed or every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).

Spark Plugs:

Platinum or Iridium plugs recommended. Replace every 60,000-100,000 miles (96,000-160,000 km), depending on plug type and driving conditions.

Transmission Fluid:

Manual: Check periodically, replace every 30,000-60,000 miles (48,000-96,000 km). Automatic: Replace every 30,000-50,000 miles (48,000-80,000 km).

Coolant:

Flush and replace every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 2 years.

Timing Belt:

The 4G63 engine uses a timing belt. Replace every 60,000-90,000 miles (96,000-145,000 km) or 7 years, along with the tensioner and idler pulleys. *Note: Some Evo IX models might have had a timing chain, but the widely recognized 4G63 for the Evo IX is belt-driven. Verification via VIN is recommended.*

Fluid Specifications

Power Steering Fluid:

Refer to owner's manual for specific type, typically a Dexron-III compatible ATF or a specific Mitsubishi power steering fluid.

Brake Fluid:

DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Flush and replace every 2-3 years.

Known Issues

Engine Reliability:

The 4G63 engine is generally robust but can be prone to issues if not properly maintained, especially concerning oil changes. Weaknesses can include connecting rod failure under extreme stress if detonation occurs or if oil levels are low. Turbocharger life can be extended with proper cool-down periods. Head gasket issues can occur with high mileage or significant modifications without proper tuning.

Drivetrain Reliability:

AYC/ACD systems can be complex and may require specialized attention. Clutch wear is typical for a performance vehicle. Differential wear can occur with aggressive driving.

Body And Interior:

Rattle from interior trim components is common. Rust can be an issue in areas with harsh winters if not properly protected. Paint durability can vary.
