need help with which fluids to use
actually either one of those will work. I'd stick with the redline. I use royal purple myself. I do use the bg for the tranny tho. Don't let anyone tell you that you "have" to use the mitsubishi diaqueen. As long as u use something that is gl-5 your fine.

Apparently if you use the wrong fluid in the transfer case (the same one used for the tranny) you will corrode the bearings.
I beleive GL4 goes in the T-Case and GL5 in the Tranny

okay i've done alot of research into this. And my family has operated a auto parts store for over 60 years. the tranny takes gl-4, the transfer case and transaxle take gl-5. now some fluids are gl-4 and gl-5 rated. and from what i have gathered you don't want gl-5 in the tranny, just gl-4. Now this dosn't make alot of sense since some are rated as both, but it has to do with friction. now about only using diaqueen for the transfer case and transaxle. As long as its gl-5 rated use the best oil you can find, and redline is pretty good. hope this clears it up a bit
If it was ok to use a 75w90 gl5 in the transfer it would've said so in the manual, but it doesn't, it says straight 90 weight gl5 hypoid gear oil. Try Royal Purple Max Gear 90, its a straight 90 weight gl5 hypoid synthetic gear oil.
