Transmission fluid

So I looked up the recommended transmission fluid for my 06 EVO IX MR. And when I went to the mitsubishi dealership they gave me something different than what was recommended. The numbers seem to be the same but it's not DIA QUEEN. The LSD gear oil is correct. When I asked the guy he said DIA QUEEN doesn't make the transmission fluid anymore and this is the mitsubishi recommended for the Evo MR's now.

I jus wanted to know if this is the right transmission fluid before I put it in my EVO.

That's the new stuff now. The part number should be the same. It's still diaqueen but it's in a different container now.

Thank you. Last thing I want to do is put the wrong fluids in my EVO.

Only reason I question it was because first the guy gave me automatic transmission fluid an insisted it was correct for my car until I made him check again.

I try to avoid buying fluids for the evo from my local dealer. Last time I tried buying fluid for my ACD pump they tried telling me the evo doesn't need that fluid Even though it's clearly marked on the cap for the ACD reservoir.

Yeah they tried giving me the wrong stuff first. Good thing I did m research before I went. I got fluid for my ACD and knew exactly what I needed for that. My ACD needs a rebuild though.

I bought that because it matched the DIA QUEEN it just didn't say it. I'm glad it's the right stuff.

Where else can I get fluids. I know one local place near me is extreme psi I can buy stuff.
