Well, i went to the dealer and they did not have diaqueen. I went into the service department and started talking to the techs that work on all of the evos that came through there door. they pulled out a fluid application list that they printed off of the mitsu service website. They said there would be no problem running something other then the diaqueen. They said as long as the fluid is GL-5 and greater it should work just fine. Thay also said that there is no friction modifier needed in the rear, I asked 3 different people on that one because I did not believe it at first.
Mitsu service book for T case said:
4. Fill with hypoid gear oil API classification GL-5 SAE90 until
the level comes to the lower portion of filler plug hole.
Quantity: 0.55 dm3 (0.58 quart)
Note: it says nothing about diaqueen, it only specifies hypoid gear oil and GL-5 SAE90
for rear diff it said:
Hypoid gear oil API classification
GL-5 or higher
• Above −23°C(−10°F): SAE90,
85W-90, 80W-90
• −34 to −23°C(−30 to −10°F):
SAE80W, 80W-90
• Below −34°C(−30°F): SAE75W
Note: Again there is no mention of diaqueen, and this is straight out of a mitsu service manual. It dosan't even mention a friction modifier. I do recommend checking the bottle that your using to see if it is safe for use in limited slip applications, which the Mobil 1 is.
If you ask for my opinion. You need to take what you read on this and all forums with a grain of salt. Remember anyone can post what ever they want, which is great, but that does not mean that everyone that is posting knows what the hell there talking about. SO DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND ASK PROFESSIONALS IF YOUR NOT SURE!

T case and Rear diff - Castrol LSX 90. Same as what the local Mitsu dealers use.
I wouldent get too carried away with D/qeen. After all its not the only API 5 h/poid oil on the planet!
Use it on all my customers cars, from the baby hp to the mega Hp.
