Refer to manual for specific MOPAR or Mitsubishi recommendation. Known Issues Engine Reliability: Generally robust 4G63 engine, but prone to issues with neglected maintenance (e.g., timing belt failure, oil starvation). Turbocharger longevity depends on oil quality and heat management. Ringland failure can occur with aggressive tuning without supporting modifications. Differential Issues: AYC/S-AYC pump failure or sensor issues can arise; fluid changes are crucial for longevity. Clutch Wear: High-performance nature of the vehicle can lead to accelerated clutch wear with aggressive driving. 📚 Vehicle History Brand Heritage Brand Focus: Performance, Rallying, Advanced Drivetrain Technology Model Evolution Evolution Name: The Lancer Evolution IX represented the final iteration of the legendary CT9A platform, building upon decades of rally...
