haha...... front got 3 gear box... use LSD oil need to use BRANDED 1.... like ENDLESS... MOTUL... TOTAL... CASTROL but dun use cap "AYAM".
for the back (AYC) u "MUST" use original MITSUBSHI or TOTAL cause this is very important.
n the AYC oil must change every 5000km...if u not believe then u'll know...

AYC oil must change every 5,000km??? is this true??

 

[bb1-man]

In a nutshell, MUST use branded stuff, if you love your car that is.

75W90 GL-4 for gearbox and center diff, 80W140 GL-5 for rear diff.

Anyone got info on quantity needed or not? time for me to change oso...how many litres need to buy...

 

[DDgreystar]

[aja]

Sure or not?.

bb1,
Just some correction doesn't have to be BRANDED but Quality is more like it. Have you heard of Shell Spirax? I m using this gear oil its the highest grade of shell used in F1 but the price is half of endless and redline. I m frequent to track and drag served me well till now.

Palama,
Dont make ppl scared la...... AYC can be changed at 30k or 25k, if frequent to track 15k should be ok. Evo7 is advised to at 20k unlike older evos.

Lanevo,

Good Advice ! I totally agree with the AYC oil change. Although most would say 5000km (actual guideline states 4500miles), is still ok for 20k if you are not that hard core so don't need to be paranoid about it. Of course if you want to spent the money to be 'on the safe side', by all means go ahead !

I've changed my AYC every 15-20k and this time round is my 4th change. Clocking 90k over mileage for the past 4 years. AYC still intact ***touch wood****

 

[cannondale>]

wah, u change the whole AYC every 20k? hmmm very rich la u

for me front and rear using redline and the ayc using the PROTON ATF SP III. ( i use long time liow ) the ayc bottle cap also stated atf spIII


for ayc oil u c some spare parts shop selling those in plastic container made by local mitsubishi dealer ( cant remember which name ) and those in metal can selling at sunway from japon.
