fluids please !

im sure this has been asked before but i want to hear from people that know for a fact, or have first hand expereince please . thanks guys !

im going to get my tranny, t/c and diff fluids changed this weekend, i have 9.5k miles on my evo and im going to southcoast mitsu to get the work done.

they told me BG fluid for the tranny, stock mitsu fluid for the rear diff, and synthetic fluid for the t/c would be better than just refilling everything with the original mitsu fluids

does that sound right to you guys? i want to use the best oils to ensure the longest life and so i wanted to make sure that that was a good setup of oils .

thanks guys

BGI/BGII(syn) transmission.

OEM Diaqueen SAE90 tcase/rear diff. Change the tcase as often as you can.

I can't vouch for anything other than OEM in the tcase... if you don't race you don't need to change near as often.
