Evo 10 oil/Fluid question
hey guys
as most of you know I bought a 2012 Pearl white 5 speed manual evo 10 , the company I am buying it from will have service and inspection done in japan , as part of the service they will change engine oil.
personally I want to change all the fluid once the car gets here , but trying to get local Mitsubishi dealer to do it is quite costly , and even trying to buy the Diaqueen oil from them is like $28 NZ per L , thats pretty expensive , I am from New Zealand by the way.
so I asked one of my friend who builds rally car and know a person who builds evo 10 as rally car , he recommend me using these oils
The oils for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X (08-15)
Engine oil: Fully / Semi Synthetic 10W30 or 5W30 (5.1L incl filter)
Manual Gearbox: Vertex Transgear Syn FE 75W80 (2.5L)
Semi-Automatic Gearbox: Vertex DCT LL (7.6L) Manufacturer recommends Dia Queen SSTF-1
Front Diff is combined with gearbox
4WD Transfer: Vertex Transgear Syn LSD 75W90 or Vertex Transgear LSD 80W90 (900ml)
Rear Diff (AYC): : Vertex Transgear Syn LSD 75W90 or Vertex Transgear LSD 80W90 (550ml)
ACD/AYC Control Fluid: Elfmatic MV (900ml)
Power Steer: CJ Model is electrically assisted- 2008-2011 NZ/OZ Model with “normal power steer” Elf Elfmatic MV
just want to know what you guys think ? because I can get those oils locally and his their website http://www.lubenz.co.nz/

As far as i know you would really just want to stick to oem fluids in the transfer case/front diff and same goes for the rear diff. You dont need to service the AYC fluid at this point so i wouldnt. As far as the tranny the choice is yours there is a bunch of different threads on fluids for that one. Mainly dependent on climate. But from what ive read i would stick with oem fluids in those other items. But good luck with your new baby!
