so ive never changed the tranny fluid or diff and t-case so im wondering what fluids should i use i could really use this help right now. ive searched and come up with nothing

 

oh and i have 49,000xx miles

 

youre going to get a lot of different respsones. but i use amsoil in my tranny, OEM diaqueen in my t-case and rear diff

 

which amsoil do you use?

 

 

amsoil in trans
OEM in transfer case and rear diff

 

i bought mitsubishi 6 speed oil for my 5 and then diaqueen gear oil, it was EXPENSIVE!! 160 but the tin can are now collectibles to me lol.. got my stuff off lancershop i believe

 

oem all the way for the tcase and rear diff you can use the 5 or 6 speed fluid in your trans but i've always just played it better safe than sorry.. oem fluid is oem for a reason..

 

they are the OEM fluids because the company who makes it made a better offer to mitsu then the others. its all about money, not about whats best. remember that

 

I remember reading how the fluid needed for the 6 speed tranny needs to be a gl4 fluid that's needed for certain metals used. Brass I believe, and doing alot of my own maintenance I shopped around for a cheap gl4 75-85 synthetic fluid and really your options aren't abundant, trust me, there's more to oem than the lowest bidder with our cars.

 

reading stickies goes a long way
