Fluid help please!!!
Hi guys!!
I was just after abit of clarification on what type or fluid i should be using for me transaxle/diff.
I will regularly service my new evo 8mr at home, so i was wondering what grade oil to use for my transfer case and transmission?
I live in australia, so even a few brands or fluids that people use here will be a really big help!!
Any info is much appreciated people, thanks heaps!!

I had noticed people saying the OEM fluid is good, but it seemed odd that there are no aftermarket products that are better??
I am more than happy to use those products, however are there any other options that anyone knows of?? I know redline is good, but im not sure what grade to use and so forth

Yea mine is a 2004 8mr, but guessing the US model and jap model may be different. Imported mine from japan. May stick with the OEM fluid for transmission, and get a fully synthetic oil for the engine. Any aussies prefer a brand of oil they use for the engine, along with a preferred oil filter brand? Big step up from non turbo to turbo, want to make sure my car has great products put through her 😛

Gearbox, TC and diff, always OEM, it comes in white cans. You don't want to risk these parts on cheap oils. Engine oil I use penrite racing 10 because it has high zinc for journal turbo
