Does anyone have pictures of were the drain and fill holes are on the evo 8 rear trance axle are, and I want to use Roual Purple do they make a specific product for diff's?

 

Go with the OEM fluid, use the search and see why. Stock fluids have never produced an issue, almost every other fluid has at least one horror story.

 

Search the how-to section, man. Search, search, search, before you ask, ask, ask ... please. In your search you'll discover that it's best to use Mitsu's LSD oil.

 

agreed. you can't miss the plugs. looking from under the back of the car, it's a big bolt in the bottom(drain)and a big bolt half way up the back slightly to the right of center(fill).

 

ok sorry guys. will surch next time first

 

Do yourself a favor and use only the OEM Diaqueen for the rear diff and transfer case.

 

+1

Use BG Sychroshift for the trans.

ONLY if you do NOT track the car.


if you track the car.


SyncroMesh does a great job ridding the tranny of its notchy nature, but this is because it is a thinner weight than the stock fluid. While the stock fluid is thick and creates a notchy trans, under higher temp and stress is cushions the gears better and provides better wear resistance. Do a search, Syncromesh is not recommended under high stress situations. If its a daily driven car thats babied, yes SyncroMesh is a great choice. Otherwise, deal with the notchy-ness and realize its for the best.

 

BG syncroshift11(2) in the trans and diaqueen in the t/c and diffs. PERIOD! Do this and you will never have a fluid related problem.

 

You can get the Diaqueen from lancershop.com

 

Also note overfilling can cause some seals to break or so i've heard. Rule of thumb always make sure the car is level and let the filler hole stop leaking then your done.

 

how many miles before you need to oil change the rear diff?

thank you!

 

i do all my fluids every 3000 miles, i also use red line oil in everything and i havent had any problems to date with over 500 drag launches and 40K miles on her. call red line direct and they will set you straight on oil for your evo
