I'd search the forums for this question, because no doubt it's already been answered, but Im on my phone and its already agitating typing so bear with me. Looking to change my transmission fluid and would like to know which brand I should use considering the stock transmission fluid blows. Any input would be marvelous.

Redline mt90, amsoil..there are a lot of good quality fluids out there. Do some research and figure out what works best for you.

If you actually are driving an 09 Ralliart then you have the Twin Clutch SST. Which would be more than likely destroyed by Redline mt90 or amsoil.. you need a dual clutch fluid, such as diaquenn, or the alternative Pentosin FFL2 (i use this). There is tons of threads already on this. Search "sst fluids" or something of that sort and see

I'm looking myself, the cheapest option I can find is:
Revenol 1L @ 13.95 ea w/free shipping.

Second cheapest is Pentosin FFL-2 @ 17.95 1L

Then there is stock Diaqueen SSTF-1 at almost double the price.

Revenol and Pentosin are discussed in the "All about SST Fluid" Thread

I used pentosin FFL-2 oil for my transmission which Mitsu tested in my car and it passed their oil test.

oh i was serious! Fred Beans Mitsu was cheapest.

I firmly believe in the 'no-bashing the nooB' kinda' responses - i wuz one!

Yeah, Fred Beans is the best I've seen for the OEM stuff. I actually go to Fred Beans for all my service since they're located pretty close to me. For my first transmission fluid change, I'll probably go to them and pay the extra for the OEM stuff just to ensure the warranty I pretend is actually good . Here are the links to their OEM parts:

Diaqueen SSTF-1 Transmission Fluid (if you decide to buy the OEM fluid, you have to order two since they come in 4L containers):

I bought the OEM filter off ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ralliart-Evo-X-OEM-Mitsubishi-Lancer-TC-SST-Transmission-Filter-/200852486935?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ec3bdbb17&vxp=mtr (filter and housing $30 cheaper than fred beans)
