Why not ?

I checked with my mitsu dealer, they said we don't carry gear/diff oils have to check with other shops

I did a search and many people were happy with Redline

I'd stick with the stock Diaqueen fluid. I've researched here numerous times, and all the threads I've found praising Redline, Royal Purple, etc. go something like this......

"man I love this gear lube in the t-case, it's great! I've only had it in the car for less than 3000 miles, but no trouble so far!"

The diaqueen can be bought on line from a lot of the vendors, Evomoto, lancershop, and others. I bought some on line from a new sponsor, Victorville Mitsubishi.

As far as shipping overseas via UPS... I have no idea, if there are local Mitsu dealers close by, the CAN order Diaqueen for you, it comes in a 4 liter tin.

Late thought, this is for the t-case and not the tranny right? DO NOT put that in the tranny!

My dealer sucks they won't sell any oils, unless I drop my car at the workshop.

Anyway I ordered BG Syncro from Lancershop.

The Dealer suppose to use Diaquen LSD for tranny,transfer, rear diff. But in reality they used Orange line ****. it's a GL5 orange on the WEST coast, EAst Coast used GL4 because GL5 in cold weather is a no no, the gear will get stuck. Myself work at Mits dealer, i used Diaquen LSD for Transfer and rear diff, BG synchroshift for Tranny.

Sounds like this (or these) may be the way to go... Just curious, how long have you been running the Pensoil Synchromesh in the tranny for and how has it been doing..? Smooth shifting, etc..? Thanks a bunch for the info, it's cool to hear from people w/ experience.
