Just did this. Pretty much like 3 consecutive oil changes provided you have the right tools. IMO a pump is a must. $15 will save you a world of hassle. Especially if you do it alone. And 4 jack stands > 2 jack stands.
I propose some changes to the instructions:
- 6 speed drain and fill plugs are NOT 10mm. They are a hex (3/8 size afaik). And both use the larger washers. Part # MN130495.
-a size 15/16 socket fit better over the fill and drain plugs on the rear diff. The closest metric size was 24 but IMO its a little loose.
All the drain plugs are the same size (part number above). Except the rear diff, its copper I think (MB019730). The fill plugs (except 6spd trans fill plug) use the same gasket (MF6600036).

I used Castrol Transmax Duel for the SST transmission which is the same as DIAQUEEN SST and Castrol Axle 90 LSD for the Transfer case and the Diff. all these fluids are made by Castrol for Mitsubishi.
