Drive train maintenance
I am looking to change all my fluid in the tranny, diff, and transfer case.
I'm looking around at all the fluids available and was wondering if I should just stick with the Diaqueen?
Any recommendations? All the threads I searched were a little old.
Thanks

I would buy fluid specific to the MR transmission. It's different than the 5-speed fluids
Also, Lancershop jacks up their prices, so anything from there isn't ever a "good deal" in that sense

If you are lazy like me and don't want to spend a week studying other people's opinions, Mitsubishi fluids will do you good. At my next maintenance interval I want to try the 6 speed transmission fluid in my 5 speed.
Stick with oem fluids. I just go to my local mitsubishi dealership and get my fluids. Cost about 160$ for everything you will need. You will also need to by two fluid pumps (just so you don't mix fluids at all)

Im running all Amsoil in the drivetrain. Shifts buttery smooth, quick and no weird noises. Twice Ive seen Diaqueen come out of the tcase rather dark and thick (not my car). Once I seen that, I stopped using Diaqueen.
Stick with OEM, unless you have an upgraded tranny and race it!
Also, Lancershop is awesome, pricey, I don't thinks so, when you look at all the products they offer and how quickly they can get them to you. Have been dealing with them for the last 10 years for my EVO and have had no complaints.

I use Redline heavy weight shock proof in the t-case, because that's what the fluid is designed to do. It's been approved by TRE.
I use either Redline or Amsoil in my trans.
For the rear diff, either use the redline shock proof again or run diaqueen. You can't go wrong with either.
