MR 6speed drivetrain fluids

Is everyone that is running the 6 speed still using OEM Diaqueen or are there better alternatives these days? Reason I ask is because I was reading a thread that they changed to some different type of OEM fluid from the previous one with the Japanese writing on it. Does anyone know the p/n for the fluids?(Trans, T-case, Rear diff) Thanks.

I would definitely only use Diaqueen in the transmission. I tried switching to Redline and it was super notchy compared to OEM. Drained it after a week and have been loving the Diaqueen ever since.

Cool thanks. I thought there was a new type but it looks the same as the ones I used last time. Is one bottle of each sufficient for everything?

One of the 4L containers of transmission fluid can do almost 2 fluid changes depending on how much oil is left in the housing. The 4L container for the Transfer case and Rear diff can both be changed out 3 times and you should have just a little fluid left over. Also a little tip to make things easier. Put the oil containers(with the lids on of course) in the sink and fill the sink with the hottest water out of the tap. Let them sit for a few minutes and then fill the cases.

Also here's a really good thread for fill quantities.
