hey guys

as most of you know I bought a 2012 Pearl white 5 speed manual evo 10 , the company I am buying it from will have service and inspection done in japan , as part of the service they will change engine oil.

personally I want to change all the fluid once the car gets here , but trying to get local Mitsubishi dealer to do it is quite costly , and even trying to buy the Diaqueen oil from them is like $28 NZ per L , thats pretty expensive , I am from New Zealand by the way.

so I asked one of my friend who builds rally car and know a person who builds evo 10 as rally car , he recommend me using these oils

The oils for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X (08-15)
Engine oil: Fully / Semi Synthetic 10W30 or 5W30 (5.1L incl filter)
Manual Gearbox: Vertex Transgear Syn FE 75W80 (2.5L)
Semi-Automatic Gearbox: Vertex DCT LL (7.6L) Manufacturer recommends Dia Queen SSTF-1
Front Diff is combined with gearbox
4WD Transfer: Vertex Transgear Syn LSD 75W90 or Vertex Transgear LSD 80W90 (900ml)
Rear Diff (AYC): : Vertex Transgear Syn LSD 75W90 or Vertex Transgear LSD 80W90 (550ml)
ACD/AYC Control Fluid: Elfmatic MV (900ml)
Power Steer: CJ Model is electrically assisted- 2008-2011 NZ/OZ Model with “normal power steer” Elf Elfmatic MV


just want to know what you guys think ? because I can get those oils locally and his their website http://www.lubenz.co.nz/

 

As far as i know you would really just want to stick to oem fluids in the transfer case/front diff and same goes for the rear diff. You dont need to service the AYC fluid at this point so i wouldnt. As far as the tranny the choice is yours there is a bunch of different threads on fluids for that one. Mainly dependent on climate. But from what ive read i would stick with oem fluids in those other items. But good luck with your new baby!

 

How many miles do you plan on changing the diff fluids? im at 22k now myself im not sure (its an Mr)

 

30k service you will look at doing t-case and rear diff fluid but not sure if they service the SST at 30k since I have a GSR and never cared to look into MR. Which manual trans will be done at 30k as well.

After posting was curious about the MR, which looks like SST is serviced at 60k.. correct me if I'm wrong people
