Tranny= 2.9quarts amsoil/Mitsubishi gear oil($98 or around that)
Tcase= .58q-Mitsubishi LSD $46 for a gallon gets you tcase+rear diff and then some.
Rear diff= .58q-Mitsubishi LSD

How many miles? At 35k I put fresh OEM fluid in, but I will probably switch to AMSOil at 45k or so, just to try it. I think it took a little more than 2 quarts, but check your manual. I got the gallon from Mitsubishiparts.net myself, so I knew I had more than plenty.

I think LSD is only $32+ shipping from Mitsubishiparts.net

^Are you saying you use the same fluid for all 3, or just that between the 2 fluids that is what it comes out to? Regardless, that is cheap!

^Nice info! I do want to switch, but I have a ways to go, still. It is so easy to change the fluids that I feel it is worth it to do it more regularly. Especially if quality stuff like AMSOil can be had for that little!

The amsoil mtg for tranny is pretty good stuff. takes a little while for it get warmed up...shifting is a bit notchy for the first few mins of driving, but once the car is good and warm it shifts very smooth.
