How long did you take to break-in your EVO X ??? Any suggestions and/or recommendations ???
Grats on the new Evo too btw! :thumbup:Taking it easy on mine not going over 5k and not shifting hard, I have 50 miles on it as of today haha
When the car is as untouched as an asian woman's turn indicator, amirite?break in period hmmmmmmm the innocence![]()
Can you scan that please.Don't remember the initial break-in. I do know however, for now on, the manual states you must let the engine temp reach 1 blue bar prior to driving. Any longer of a warmup is just excessive fuel consumption. Driving pre-blue bar can cause damage to the turbo. It's in the manual. The manual. The manual. (Wanted to clarify that before everyone tells me/you something different.)
I can. When I go home, I'll post it up. The things you read when waiting for the GF to get coffee. I swear I learn something new every time.Can you scan that please.

For routine maintenance? Nope, not needed. If for personal preference, sure, if you'd like.Thank you for all your answers. I have another question: should I change transmission fluid along with the first oil change ??
I have a Defi oil temperature gauge that starts at 100 degrees. I usually wait for the needle to start moving before driving. In this colder weather, usually takes about 5 minutes at idle. I'm not as concerned with water temperature as I am oil temperature.I do know however, for now on, the manual states you must let the engine temp reach 1 blue bar prior to driving.

I agree with Jake. I live in AZ, so I never experience the super cold, annoyingly notchy shifting like people talk about in cold climates. So I just changed the oil. But before this summer I'm probably going to do Trans, Diff, and TC. (should be still under 10k miles when I do).For routine maintenance? Nope, not needed.

owner manual. recommended fluids and oem brands. Unless you have a build engine or a high power set up. But then the builder can specify the fluids for that set up, based on his build.How long did you take to break-in your EVO X ??? Any suggestions and/or recommendations ???
