Well , Its very very simple .
After i sowed hear by Castrol official document that Castrol Transmax Dual is the official
fluid for Evo X dual clutch transmission , all you need to do is to go to Ford dealership
and ask for fluid , catalog number Ford WSS-M2C-936-A (Dual Clutch) , thats all .

You can see that this Ford catalog number appear in Castrol Transmax dual pdf :

http://www.castrol.com/liveassets/bp...x_Dual_75W.pdf

see & compare what is the cheapest : Castrol Transmax Dual or Ford WSS-M2C-936-A or Diaqueen SSTF1 .

Why would Mitsubishi charge more for no reason. When people shop for cars they take into account the cost of ownership by looking at mantenance costs. Mitsubishi would lose more new car sales than they could make up for by over pricing the fluid. There has to be more to it. If someone wants to be experiment with this I would urge them to change the fluid early and often.

Don't forget the Diaqueen is 4L. Most of this other fluid comes in 1L. Still alot cheaper though.

i will...but im not due to change. another thing is all of the aftermarket oil is also base on the price of the stock oil....so if they sell it for 28per liter...the aftermarkt will be cheaper too.
