Evo maintenance

After driving happily with the Evo through the summer it was time to show it some love and do some basic maintenance.
On the list for the day was changing the engine oil, change the brake discs and pads in all four corners and the brake fluid.
After driving the car on the track once this summer I noticed that the brakes started to fade really quickly and that at least the discs felt very worn out. I decided to change both the discs and pads all around to be on the safe side and at the same time upgrade to proper brake fluid as well.
I ordered the brake discs and pads from Camskill UK since they offered a great package deal and fast and cheap delivery to Finland.
Ideally I would have liked to upgrade to a bit "better" discs and pads especially for the front but this time I decided to go with stock parts.

As for the brake fluid I got Motul RBF 600 Racing DOT 4.

The brake fluid, as well as the oil, was bought from a local store TI-Tarvike Oy.

As for the oil I decided to with Castrol Edge 10W-60.

A new OEM oil filter and gasket for the drain plug was naturally also bought.

We started off by changing the oil and the oil filter. About 4,5l of fresh Castrol was poured into the engine.

After this it was time to tackle the brakes. The whole process turned out to be quite simple and the only small problem we encountered was the rear discs that was a bit jammed but eventually we got them off as well.

The old pads were actually in quite good shape (no idea about the quality though) but the discs were really worn out so it seemed like a good decision to change everything.

Old discs off...

..and new ones on

After this the brake fluid was changed (the old fluid had seen better days) and the brakes bled and now the car was ready to rumble again.


Big up to Nikke once again for all the help and providing the great space to work in!
