No More "Diaqueen"?

Sorry if this is a repost - when did Mitsu stop calling their 90wt LSD oil "Diaqueen?" I called two dealerships and they said they don't call it diaqueen anymore, just straight 90wt LSD oil?

I think that happened like recently. My big jug of Diaqueen disappeared and I needed to order new one and they didn't sell it anymore.

I called STM and they said they no longer sell it in those jugs either only in 1qt's. Go figure

thanks for the input guys - did not know this. I'll kind of miss the old white and red diaqueen 1gal (or whatever) metal can. Maybe I'll keep it forever

Yep - no longer sold in the large cans, only the 1qt containers. I think that part happened about a year or so ago

My 4qt can has lasted me two years already and it's like 90% full.

I don't think they would surprise buttsex change the formula on people like that, you would have people at Mitsubishi NA with torches and pitchforks IMO.

I'm going to make an assumption.

I think they are no longer selling large volumes of the stuff or the profit margin is greater in smaller, higher priced containers.

I didnt care for the name so Im glad the name is gone. I have the single quart bottles and seems to look and smell just like the stuff in the big cans. I dont have any actual testing to prove it is, other than this. I like it, its alot more convenient in a single quart jug, imo.

biggest issue is that the 1qt bottles dont allow you to use a something like the amsoil pump you need to get it into the diff/trans.
