somewhere on evom there was testing done on all the diff motor oils. amsoil and mobile1 10w30 Extended Performance were neck and neck and traded off in each category. So, you choose , but dont wait 7500 miles to change the oil if you go with Mobile1 E-P, still change it every 3k.

I found the testing I posted about, here is the link!!! Hope it helps!!! www.amsoil.com/lit/g1971.pdf

 

What about royal purple I'm thinking of picking that up today and how many qts is the 2010 evo x exactly?

 

Great Post Thanks

 

Great resource! Thanks!

 

thanks for the write up.

 

Has anyone used AMSOIL in lieu of the OEM fluids for the 5 speed MT, transfer case and rear diff? If so, how did you like it...any issues?

I looked on the AMSOIL website and for an 06 Evo they recommend:

MTGQT-EA
Synthetic Manual Transmission and Transaxle Gear Lube (75W-90) API GL-4 : 1 QUART

SVGQT-EA
SEVERE GEAR 75W-90 Synthetic EP Lubricant: (1) quart bottle

Any feedback appreciated!

 

This is a very helpful thread, thanks.

 

i love royal purple... just tried amsoil for the first time . try 4 quarts of royal purple and one hyperlube bottle with a royal purple oil filter... its the best ive ever tried. youll love it. just one question why doesnt anyone like to answer how ones oil does against royal?

 

i tried pm'ing Russell for the Timing belt kit. Does anyone know if he's stop selling those? or should i just try pm'ing him again?

 

Amsoil I use in my car:

HDD Heavy Duty Diesel 5w-30 Motor Oil
EA-046 Oil Filter
Severe Gear 75w-110 SVT in the T-case and Rear Diff
ATF in the ACD
DOT 3 in the clutch line

I still use OEM 6 Speed Tranny Fluid in my 5 Speed Tranny

Hope that helps!

 

no he'll get back to you... he just pm'ed me back about the kit.

thanks! he just got back to me with the same link. i was surprised that the prices went up. i guess i didn't consider his thread was from 2009 and that prices would probably be different.

 

Mitsubishi Brake Fluid
-DOT 3
-MZ311987 (354 ml)

Anyone know the capacity?

 

354 mL = ~0.37 US Quarts

 

Thanks
