OEM DiaQueen for the transfer case and rear differential. For the tranny use 1 quart of Redline MTL and 2 quarts of Redline MT-90.

Motul 600 on the brake fluid.

60K service usually consists of belt changes and water pump change...

When it comes to adding oil to the transfer case measure the amount out and then you will know how much was added to the case. If you look to see oil drip out it may do that even when the transfer case is not competely full.. Just an FYI.

I just did this.

Oil, Tranny, TCase, Rear Diff, ACD

OEM in all cases. Although I'm switching to ENEOS 0w-50 when I install the Green

You are going to hear some many different opinions on which fluid you should use. The key is to use what is recommended from Mitsubishi. Look in your owner's manual to see what the recommended specifications are for each fluid and then go from there.
