adding to the confusion, there is BGSync I and BGSync II.........what is the diff between the 2?

 

I also recommend changing it around 5000 miles. Pennzoil really helped my notchy shifting, but my grinds came back after roughly 5000 miles, and is getting worse by the week. I haven't changed my Pennzoil in 13,000 miles though. I'm just gonna wait til I hit 2000 more miles, and then go by the routine of changing out tranny fluids every 5000.

Anyways, I would also like to learn about BG.

 

just changed myn to the Pennzoil and it shifts great now

 

No one uses BG Synroshift anymore?

 

the 2 is synthetic and 1 is not I believe. I'm using the 1, works great. Most of the DSM community has been using it because they believe it is easy on the bearings too!

 

So what are everyone's recommendations concerning the fluids to use in each of the following:

Brand/Part Number/Weights?

- Transmission
- Transfer Case (Front Diff.)
- Active Center Diff. ('05)(In Transfer Case I Think?)
- Rear Diff.

Sorry, I'm just a little lost when it comes to this type of thing, but I'd like to do mine when I hit 10K. (couple hundred miles away)

 

transmission = pennzoil synchromesh
TC/Rear diff = mitsubishi diaqueen

 

where can we buy these online?

 

You can get penzoil at autozone and the Diaqueen at the mitsu dealer, or at lancershop.com

 

Dereck888:ni hao mah? I think you should be able to get the diaqueen LSD gear oil in the taiwan mitsubishi stealership?

 

BUMP FOR
transmission = pennzoil synchromesh
TC/Rear diff = mitsubishi diaqueen

 

Cant go wrong with TC/Rear diff = mitsubishi diaqueen

As far as tranny, I havent used the penz synch yet but may try soon, the redline cocktail became notchy this winter

 

How often dose the owners manul say to change the fluids? I am at 26k and am on the orignal fluids.

Transmission fluid? Pens synch

TC/Diff? Diaqueen

 

The shop manual recommends tranny and drivetrain fluild changes every 30k miles under normal usage.

I use Pennzoil Synchromesh in my tranny and Diaqueen in the t-case and rear diff.

 

thanks for the quick reply! I will be changing mine soon. I am going to go with Syncromesh or AMSoil GL4
