It'll be fine, bro. trust me on this. Use any 75w-90 GL5 for TC that is available that has LSD additives. I take it that Liqui-Moly is out of the question?

Anyway, good luck

You want a GL4 for the transmission, not one of the universal GL4/5. Try Redline MT-90(2)/MTL(1) in the transmission and Redline 75W-90 GL-5 in the transfer case and rear differential.

I have personally used Motul, "Gear 300", 75W-90, in my 5-spd., JDM RS tranny for about 78,000 Km. So, I would recommend using the Gear 300 instead of the, MotylGear, that you mentioned. Although, if you can't get the Gear 300, then I wouldn't hesitate to try the MotylGear.

Also, I use, Motul Competition ff, gear oil, in both the rear diff., and the transfer case. Here in my country, the more widely used gear oils that are sold in the U.S., such as Redline, DiaQueen, or Amsoil, etc., are just not available.

diaqueen is a Mitsubishi fluid. You can buy a liter at the dealership. You may be able to have it shipped? It is expensive stuff but your transfer case will thank you. As far as your tranny good luck. I couldnt imagine not being able to have something locally shipped.

OEM is the way to go! Diaqueen 5 sp in the 5sp; and 6 sp in the 6 sp. Diaqueen LSD in the tcase and rear diff. Change 12 mo or 10,000 mi.
