Oil Change:
Every 3,000-5,000 miles or 3-6 months (depending on oil type and driving conditions). Consult manual for specific recommendations.
Timing Belt Replacement:
Recommended every 60,000 to 90,000 miles for DOHC Twin Turbo engines due to the interference design. Consult manual for precise interval.
Engine Oil:
API SG or SH certified, SAE 10W-30 recommended for most conditions. Check manual for exact viscosity based on temperature.

Mitsubishi DiaQueen ATF-SP II M or equivalent (Dexron II/III generally not recommended for longevity).
Power Steering Fluid:
Dexron II/III compatible fluid.
Active Aero:
Failure of active aerodynamic components (spoilers, front air dam) due to electrical faults or actuator wear.
Timing Belt:
High importance of timely timing belt replacement on twin-turbo models to prevent catastrophic engine damage (interference engine).
Electronics:
Various electrical gremlins can occur due to age and wiring harness degradation. The manual's wiring diagrams are crucial.
