Help..!!! How much fluid goes where...??

Im getting seriously shafted on my 75,000 km service by a Mitsubishi Dealer..!!

I have asked for a full fluid change. Engine, gearbox, transfer case, diff, AYC (missing anything..?)

Can someone please tell me how much of what goes where? I know there are loads of threads on this but they are all contradictory. Someone please add to my simple list below, fill in the blanks and/or please correct:

Engine Oil (6 Lts) = 5w 40 synthetic (many different brands)
SST Fluid (8 Lts ) = Mitsubishi DiaQueen SST Transmission Fluid
Transfer case ( ??? ) MITSUBISHI Genuine "Dia-Queen" LSD gear oil
Rear Axel Diff gears ( ??? )MITSUBISHI Genuine "Dia-Queen" LSD gear oil
ACD hydraulic unit ( ??? ) MITSUBISHI Genuine ATF-SPIII

What am I missing?

Does this diagram look correct? https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ase-evo-x.html

Thx...

Rear diff: Dia-Queen LSD Gear oil - 0.58qts +/- .02
Torque Transfer Unit (AYC): Diamond ATF-SP 3 - 0.58-0.63qts

The fluid changes are easy enough to do yourself as long as you don't mind getting a little messy.

Yes the SST fluids are expensive anticipate being charged around 500bucks for that every 30k miles.

@razorlab, thanks for the 'self-sacrifice'....must have really been difficult for a 'Guru' like you to write back with advice. For the record, I did search the forum and the info was all different...read my post better.

you will also need to replace the TC-SST fluid filter, and the manual calls for 5w-30 engine oil. The transfer case is notoriously easy to under fill so make sure you get the correct amount of fluid into it.

Like I stated, learn how to search. The fact that you searched and DID NOT find the actual service manual information means you don't know how to properly search. It IS on here.

Also, don't give me crap when I actually answer your question. Are you asking for help or not?

The other thing you could do, and I know this is hard but bear with me here, is to look at your owners manual.... it's listed there under specifications.

All it takes is a bit more effort.

Always the same thing. Newb comes on asking for spoon fed help...

Newb gets help from people that have been doing this for 20+ years...

Newb doesn't hear what he wants to hear...

Newb cries.

SST uses Mitsubishi Part number C0002610. Called SSTF-1
Engine if you are in France, Motul 5w40 meeting BMW LL1 spec should be everywhere. (I know the manual says 5w30. Not getting into that discussion).
Differential and transfer case use 75w90 GL5 (LSD compatible)
ACD (trunk res) you can use ATF-4 synthetic transmission fluid.
