Ok, I've got a vacuum bleeder for my brakes which I can use.

Do you know if there is a procedure documented in this forum?

ACD Equivalent?

This post specifies the OEM fluid is

ACD Operating Fluid
- Diamond ATF SP III - ACH1ZC1X05 (1 qt)
- capacity 0.95 qts

Is Valvoline Maxline ATF an equivalent? The bottle says SP-III

Thanks , been looking for this.

Question, transmission and transfer case aren't the same? The rear diff and front diff require the same capacity on 0.58 QTS? Trying to make a list on my phone to have everything squared away with these fluid changes, this is what I currently have as intervals. Thanks

No, transmission and transfer case are not the same. For my US 2005 Evo VIII spec the transfer case and differential are the same, but the transmission is different.
Transfer case (.63 qt) and differential (.58 qt) are OEM Diaqueen MZ320345 LSD GL-5 SAE90 oil
You have the correct amount and spec for transmission oil, although in mine that is the only place I use a non-spec fluid. Shep rebuilt the transmission and recommends 2.9 QT for 5 speed of Redline MT-90 GL-4. If driven in cold weather frequently use the MT-85. My transmission and entire care are stock, no mods.

Also the ACD fluid is correct, its just a hydraulic fluid that drives the pump and doesn't see the constant wear like a transmission or rear diff. You don't need to change, just top off the 1 qt reservoir under the hood drivers side front of car. If you do change it, be extremely careful to do it properly and bleed it properly, or you will cause more problems than you will fix. I am **** about my maintenance and have never needed to changed mine, and it looks clear and red.
