Place to buy all the basic fluids for one change?

What's up everyone I am doing my fluids next week and was wondering if there is a link were I can just buy enough for all three of these flushes? Like a kit that has all the right fluid? That would be great thanks!

talk to RussellM @ mitsubishiparts.net

But you're going to get everyone's opinion on what to run where. I would stick with OE Diaqueen for the Transfer Case and Rear diff, transmission I personally run Amsoil and like it more than OE Diaqueen and the redline cocktail mix.

Best advice for transmission is to try each and see which you like best

i would do amsoil for the transmission. its VERY good IMO.
the rest i would use OE Diaqueen.
go to your local mitsubishi dealership and get it there. m positive 1 jug is more than enough for the tcase and the rear diff.

I have a motor that I've been refurbishing. I plan on starting it up this weekend. I was going to buy cheap oil first and mix it with "engine flush" run the motor for 20 some minutes to get all the gunk out and then drain. Then I'll use Mobil 1 for a week or two until I can order some AMS oil.

Will also use Mobil 1 for tranny and transfer case. Again until I can order the AMS fluids.

Do you have any other recommendations?

Why are you going to run "cheap" oil during break in? Exactly what oil do you plan to use for engine breakin? Why run engine flush during initial startup? Nobody runs Mobil1 in their tranny or transfer BTW.

motor's been sitting for over a year, but supposedly running. The pan and head looks clean, but with light deposits in areas that's why I wanted to do a cheap oil flush just for a few minutes.

I searched a lot on here and read that members have used mobil 1 with no issues. I plan on getting OEM Diaqueen or AMS fluids within a couple of weeks. I just want to make sure that the motor is in running condition before I invest more money/time.

Thanks for the reply.

I should not have generalized and said that no one runs Mobil in their Evo tranny, I guess.

These threads, although good intentioned, really just leave you no more enlightened than how you began. People buy fluids for all kinds of strange reasons, but if you want advice based on real experience, why don't you approach one of the sponsored vendors on this forum who do tranny, trans and diff work? They build these things for a living and know what works and what doesn't. Or you could just go with what some random guy on a forum says. Just sayin'.
