Amsoil Synthetic ATF

Can this be used in my ACD?

Should this be done at the same time as changing my trans fluid, transfer case and rear diff?

Use the OEM fluid, please. What reason is there to try finding other fluids?

Cause it'll make you look cooler with a longer mod signature.

Because I was trying to order all the fluids online and avoid driving 45 minutes to the dealer. So not knowing the name and/or brand it calls for made it kinda hard to find. All I was told was ATF III, never having owned an auto, I don't know much about ATF. I ordered the other fluids that you suggested, thanks for that.

OEM fluids only in the transfer case and read diff... even on built trannies this is what they suggest...

as far the gearbox is concerned people have tried other lubes other than OEM with success like Redline MT90, Penzoil, etc etc...

Yeah, don't use MT90 in your ACD, that's for the TC and tranny only. ACD fluid is ATF fluid, but it doesn't have to be changed at 15K like the other fluids.

Sorry, I am a bit confused...isnt' the ACD inside the trasnfer case?

Is the ACD separate from the TC?

I'd stick with OEM if I were you. I switched back to factory fluids and it seems to drive better to me.

I know you're suppose to use OEM Mitsubishi GL5 LSD EVO Gear Oil Diaqueen (for the 5spd tranny) Transfer Case and Rear Differential, but what is OEM Tranny Fluid? IS BG Syncroshift at Lancershop any good?

Sort of. The ACD is in the TC but the ACD clutchpack has a separate reservoir for fluid.
