A couple questions about maintenance

Which tranny fluid is best? I have read so many different opinions but it seems like this is my best bet http://www.mitsubishiparts.net/catalog/?section=489 although is says it's for a 6 speed.
Should I swap ACD fluid at 30k and if so is there an oline site to buy it?
Can I go with cheaper plugs or stay oem?

Thanks in advance

For the transmission go with BG, Penzoil, Redline or GM. For the transfer case and rear diff only use Diaqueen.
As for cheaper plugs just get some BPR7ES plugs from Auto Zone and you will be fine.

I read BG is crap and a few members blew their trannies running this oil. What specifically are you using?

A lot of guys use BG synchroshift or synchroshift II.

I'm currently using BG synchroshift in my tranny, Redline Heavy Shockproof in my Transfer case (quaife installed) and Redlne 75-90 in my rear diff. (Evo VIII)

I'm going to go to Redline MT-90 in my tranny once I run out of the BG.

^ same. Used RRE's advice. BG Synchroshift 2 in the tranny. Redline heavy duty shockproof in the transfer case, and Redline 75-90 rear diff. Make sure you have a pump for the transfer case and rear diff. Tranny can be filled with a funnel if your airbox/filter is removed.
