if you drive a manual it's fine, if you drive an automatic, you're an idiot, and you need to take your car to a shop for fluid changes...

Given what they're saying, the two above posts suggesting Diaqueen own Evos, not OZ Rallys. You can use oils other than OEM in your transmission so don't worry too much about it.

Isn't the O.Z, rally addition turbocharged? Either way it isn't gonna hurt. Even if it isn't if it is good enough for the evo, why wouldn't it be good enough for a O.Z.?
