I'm nearing my next service and the manual requires a Transfer Oil Change. I'm sure many people have done this already.

The oil recommended by the book is the DiaQueen SAE90. I was looking around and saw the other "recommended" was Motul 90PA. Was wondering which would be the better product to use? Or if there are other better options. What should I be looking at. Would the 90PA have better lubricating properties?

Saw on evoxforum
Input welcome

What is transfer oil? I'm guessing it's for limited slip diff?? When do I have to change that oil??

I'm not familiar with the SAE numbering, but I think I'll stick with the OEM spec weight. I understand by that logic I should be sticking to DiaQueen I guess others input on this and the others would be nice

I believe its for our limited slip diff. Under severe in my book says 15k miles/24k km, or 15 months

Skym

Thanks for answering so quickly. how many quarts do we need for our cars??

I know you guys want to prob stick with Diaqueen, but for what its worth, I just used Amsoil for oil change and its amazing. Its only my second oil change, used mobil 1 before, but I can actually notice a difference in how smooth the car runs etc. From what I have heard Amsoil gear lube is second to none. I see the quote above...so when I hit 15k I will be the lab rat, but honestly I have confidence that Amsoil would outperform any other brand, oem or not. No I dont work for them.

Skym

So you're saying that you changed motor oil to Amsoil?
And at 15K you're willing to change the transfer oil to amsoil?

thats right. Even if you guys stick with the diaqueen for the transfer oil, I would suggest at least trying out the Amsoil synthetic oil. I am very happy it. I never thought switching synthetic brands would make too much of a difference after using royal purple, mobil 1, etc, but when I put the Amsoil in there I noticed the car ran smoother. Especially in the morning, while the car is warming up, very smooth.

I work for a Mitsubishi dealership and we would never put anything else but Diaqueen LSD in, because if something screws up is AMSoil or Redline going to step up and do anything if the catostrophic occurs?

Too many evos making way much more power that are using AMSOIL, that have proven to use AMSOIL over and over during hard core racing hard launching ect....
