Another one for ya,
Since I am going back to Cali, what weight of motor oil should I use. Considering the mountains and hills compared to Florida's flatlands.
Also will that weight of oil be good for the cross country trip I am about to do next week.

Lol when I said you got pwned I was jk, obviously you were right and the guy was just lazy or stupid or a combo of both.

My personal recommendation for the 5-speed Evo transmission is the Redline cocktail: http://www.maperformance.com/redline...smissions.html
I use and recommend the OEM Mitsu 90W DiaQueen in the transfer case and rear differential.

I been searching on the fluids and maintanance charts for a couple days because I am doing the 30k mile lube change. So I go to the dealer I ask for DIAQUEEN for my transfer case and rear diff. I tell him "Thats a gallon right", he says yeah, now I start to think i only need less than 2 quarts to do both yet I will have all of this oil to store away.
Before I even open my mouth to ask for my next fluid he says,"Thats plenty to do the tranny too!"
WTF! 1gallon of diaqueen to do the TC, diff, and tranny?
I tell him that the tranny fluid is diffrent its 75w90 and he says its the same thing.
So am I wrong ,I know the fluid charts has two diffrent pics of oil canasters .

I used it for my 30k service in my tranny, rec. by Sheptrans, got rid of my 2nd gear grind after a while.... Using Diaqueen mits. fluid in all Diffs, also rec. by Sheptrans, especially in my stg II TC.
The MT-90 is a bit thicker than Mitsu-spec which is why I like to mix 2 quarts of MT-90 with 1 quart of MTL. Redline recomends 1 MT-90 and 2 MTL, but I like to run a little thicker. It works great even at -20F and 100F+.
Yep, I just had a clutch job done (Quartermaster twin disk) by Strictly Modified (both in a single review) and I used Redline MT-90 lightweight in the trans. and Redline shock proof in the tranny case, and everything is smooth as can be.
