My Transmission fluid is really low. Im not sure about what it is, its under my hood and It says use ATF SP III only... what do you guys use??? Exactly what brand? And I have ATF at my house ( castrol ) but it doesnt say anything about SP III, So i dont want to use it, and on top of that , the back doesnt say mitsubishi anywhere. I want to go to autozone and get new stuff, but I want to get your opinions on what you think I should get!


EDITT: LOOK AT THE LAST REPLY, I THINK THAT IS WHAT I NEED, If YOU CAN CONFIRM IT, THATD BE GREAT

THANKKS ! YOURE ALL THE BEST

 

um you have a auto evo 8 when did they start making those?

 

no I dont, sorry. I am being unclear... the cap says Fluid Control Diff. and it says use ATF SP III, and its on the bottom right of the engine bay.... sorry if i confused people

 

im pretty sure it has to do with the transfer case

 

That's the ACD fluid, not transmision oil. It's normal for it's level to go down when the car runs. it will go back up when the car cools down as the accumulator in the ACD pump releases back the fluid.

 

bro, stick to stock fluid. i know buschur racing has it. Trust me if you buy cheap stuff you will pay for it in the long run.. Your evo deserves the best. If you want really good advice talk to trevor at sheptrans.com they deal with transmissions specifically and will answer most questions..

 

This.

But it is important to be sure that it is filled appropriately.

You can also check this thread stickied at the top of the forum as it will specify what fluids you should be using.

Go away.

 

hey quick to judge dude the OP had his thread title asking which ATF to use for his transmission and later edited when he realized the error.

 

atf fluid is different from you transmission fluid...you should try redline heavy duty gear oil..amazing that what i have on my exedy stage 2 clutch ...atf fluid is different..don't put that in your transmission

 

this guy is right all the way atf fluid is part with your acd fluid.

 

I'd suggest using what it says on the cap.

 

is this the fluid i buy???

Excellent point, and I apologize. Your comment still doesn't offer any assistance though.

Everyone is new at sometime. Kind assistance goes a long way.

 

Yes, that's the correct fluid for your ACD. Transmission uses a different fluid.

 

Yes, that is the recommended fluid. Did you check the part numbers in the link that I suggested?
