synthetic GL-4 fluids for tranny and GL-5 for diffs. As long as those are the specs....you will be fine.

Trust me stick with the Mitsubishi Diaqueen LSD gear oil, TRE tells all there customers to stick with this fluid because it has proven to be the best in our transfer case. I would listen to them especially since they have been working on transmission and transfer case for a long time.

Mitsubishi Diaqueen LSD gear oil hands down. I believe Lancershop sells it for just under 50 dollars for a gallon of it. A gallon of this stuff will last you numerous fluid changes.

Most recommend using stock fluid for the T-case and diff. You could replace the stock tranny fluid, but the 6-speed comes with synthetic so IMO there isn't much to be gained.

$50 a gallon is expensive. you can get synethtics for cheaper. it must be a straight 90 weight, GL5 hypoid gear oil.

I've been using heavy Shockproof in my TC on my 05 MR for many track events.

No problem what so ever.
