Thanks!!!

 

Has anyone tried Royal Purple?

 

Just purchased my transmissions fluids from Amazon!

• 1qt - Redline MT-90 50304
• 2qt - Redline MTL 50204

 

Are the fluids for the transmission the same as the fluids for the transfer case and rear differential?
I have an Evolution 4, and the service manual states that I use 75/85 Dia Queen Gear Oil for the transmission, and that I use Dia Queen Super Hypoid Gear Oil rated GL-5 for the transfer case and rear diff.
I know I don't have to use the Mitsubishi brand Dia Queen, but I am stuck as to whether to get 2 different oils for the trans and the transfer case and rear diff. Is there a huge difference? Or am I best just to do what the manual says?

Thanks in advance

Also, apologies, I just realized these are the Evo X forums

 

Fluids for the tcase and rear diff are the same.
Fluids for the tranny are not the same as the diffs.

We ship to Canada let me know if.you would want to try AMSOIL

 

What 2 oils would you recommend, and how much per bottle/liter?

thanks

 

Hey aplha what I'd the site that you got yor oil from.can you give me a link please

 

I thought the mt-85 was the correct fluid from redline to use for the evo x. I know people like to use the cocktail but didn't redline make the mt-85 match oem specs?

 

And here's the Redline MT85:

In fact, I just bought 3 quarts from Amazon, @ $50. I'll let you know how it works in a five speed IX.

 

This is good to hear, as I just bought 3 quarts of Redline MT-85 for my 03 Evo, which just clicked 111,000 miles on the odo. The previous owner used standard 75W-85 Gear oil mixed with lucas, so lets just say the trans isnt a happy camper shifting in 30* weather. Cant wait to get mine changed now.

 

Mine practically crunches when the car's cold, doesn't like to go into reverse right away. I'm hoping that regular changes with the MT-85 help resolve both.

 

Amsoil has worked great for me so far. Just changed it 1 month ago for the second time. When warm, this fluid makes shifts feel extremely smooth. However, I do now let my car warm up for a few minutes before driving in 30 deg or below weather because cold Amsoil does make the car a bit notchy.
