Hi i am going to service my IX tomorrow and just want an idea of what are the best fluids to buy i am going to change the following:

oil
oil filter
diff oil
TC fluid
transmission fluid

Can someone give me the brand (eg mobil1, castrol, etc) and the rating (10W-30 etc.) of what i need to get? Please be specific ...ppl tell me get synthetic oil...i want a little more clarification. by the way i am in Trinidad and its a JDM 2006 Evo IX..

Also do the octane boosters, eg. Prestone make any difference?

Thanks a million!

 

Oem !!!!

 

+1 on what he said!!

 

what are the OEM ?
this is what i am asking lol

what are the OEM fluids?

 

Mobil one is the best for your car, stick with 10W 30. Castrol is acceptable also. About the other fluids, you have to buy from the dealer, its gonna be this stuff called DiaQueen.

 

any other brands besides DiaQueen no Evo dealers in the country! Damn!

Thanks for the oil tpye though!

 

www.ttp-engineering.com sells diaqueen, check this out too. http://evomoto.com/index_tech.php?tP...1bf8687e0775a0. I would stick with mobil one for the engine too its what comes with it. OEM all the way people have had tons of problems when they start mixing and matching fluids.

 

If Royal Purple products are available you can use them.

 

Thanks choice law..i think ppl are doing it on purpose lol!!!

what rating in the purple oil and for which - diff?TC?tranny?

 

nice site! any other similar to this?

i am in Trinidad i doubt we have Diaqueen, not certain....

 

Be warned, not all Mitsu dealers use Diaqueen. I asked the local mistu dealer what I should put in my tranny and they recommended Castrol, said it doesnt matter as long as it's the same viscosity. This is one more reason why I dont trust them to work on my car.

 

use oem oils, 64k on my 05. since day one ive been using diaqueen and mobil 1 10w30 fully synth, and red line on trans. no problems. so engine oil change every 3k 3.5k miles and on tc/rear diff/trans every 15-20k

 

you should slap the mech. or who ever told you at that dealer,

screw the devil.

 

Only use OEM diaqueen for LSD in tcase and rear differential.

 

Holy Crap!! This is really bad advice... Royal Purple in the drivetrain parts is asking for catastrophic problems. Don't ask me how I know...
