Mitsubishi dealer never heard of Diaqueen?

So I just got off the phone with my local Mitsubishi dealer to get some Diaqueen for my TCase. Not only did the parts guy tell me to just use any GL-5 SAE 90 (like the service manual states) but he also told me he's never had any in stock and that they just have a genaric 50gal drum of GL5 that they use for all the mitsu's hondas, and VWs that they service.

Does this sound odd to anyone else? And has anyone had any problems with genaric 90w in their TCase? I just don't feel comfortable just putting anything in there, and I really don't feel comfortable with my local service shop now.

You shouldnt have ever felt comfortable with your stealership lol... Order the fluid and do it yourself.. FYI i suggest getting a suction gun at your local parts store. Makes life 10x easier....
