hey I was in the same predicament went i first got my car. I'll save you the time and let you know what i use before people start bashing on you for using the "search" button.

I use diaqueen Mitsubishi fluid for the front and rear differential. I believe I used .56 L of it to fill each differential. For the transfer case, I used MT-90 from Redline Gear Oil (3 quarts) but you will get a lot of people with difference preferences. Im not saying what I use is the best but it hasnt given me any problems so far. Good luck with your findings.

I've used Reline MT-90 on my car and I feel it is better then stock fluids. There should be a old thread about this and it would help you answer your questions.

Yes, your wording is incorrect.
