It takes about 2.75 quarts and it is only sold by the gallon. It's called Mitsubishi diaqueen.

Transfer Case - 0.63 qts
Daiqueen LSD Gear oil

I got my last can from Mitsubishiparts.net, but you can probably get it fairly cheap elsewhere.

Duqueen LSD gear oil is about 40-50 for a gallon shipped from most our vendors.

I'd recommend nothing else but diaqueen and redline

i have sme redline but my tuner... tuning tech aid just buy diaqueen from the dealer. i have redline mtl 70 80 and mt90 which neither will work... mt 90 will for trans but i might as well order diaqueen for the transfer case


BTW i called southcoast mitsu and the parts guy wouldnt tell me it was diaqueen he just said that if i needed oil i really should just bring the car in ...... i told him i just did a clutch i have no oil in it! after that he just said its LSD oil and to come in its 70$ also told me that it was a horrible idea to put anything in my car other than the stock clutch setup. really wish mitsu dealers would help people instead of saying the regular old Bull$hit about bring ur car in when they are one of the biggest evo dealers and have tons of modified cars themselves im sure none with stock clutches

So, I've heard reports of people running into problems when running anything other than the OEM fluid in their transfer case. I won't take that risk, so I stick with OEM for that component in my track evo.
