Please keep in mind that responses on this forum don't always come in 8 minutes or less, and I doubt any thread needs a bump in the short of time.

I think the 2 oils you mentioned above are the same. Daimond is the Mitsu brand, so you won't find it anywhere but at a dealer. Just to be sure, ask the reps at autozone what kind of trans fluid they recommend (which would most likely be the Mobil stuff you mentioned). I drive a manual, so hopefully some auto guys will post here soon.

also, be sure to check the trans oil thread somewhere around here, it was about manuals, but someone did quote the service manual on changing auto trans fluid, and also a small discussion on the easy way which only changes some of it, and the hard way which flushes it all.
