Need some advice, I usually follow the user manual for getting my car serviced. However, this time around, I’m not taking it to Mitsubishi, I got a mechanic I could trust. I’m at 40K miles right now but at 30K mikes, I skipped four things which was, “Change manual transaxle oil”, “Change transfer oil”, Check reserve tank fluid level for ACD”, and “Change rear axle oil with LSD”.
1. Is the manual transaxle oil the transmission fluid? If the answer is no then what is it?
2. What exactly is the transfer oil? Are they talking about one of the diff’s?
3. Is the rear axle oil the rear diff fluid? If no then what is it?
4. Now is there any of these things in which I would need a certified Mitsubishi mechanic to do? Or are these things fair game for a regular mechanic of my own choosing, especially with the “Check reserve tank fluid level for ACD” ?
Thanks,
if this was already discussed, I apologize. I did do a quick search and didn’t find anything on it.

First let me tell you.. You NEED to change you Tranny and T case oils every 6k or so you NEED to regaurdless what the manual calls for.
the first 3 quetions are a yes
However number 4 is a tricky one. because it is supposidly true that the ACD requires a specail "mistu" tool to bleed which youll need to do on changin the fluids
Use BG syncroshift II for the tranny and Mitsu LSD oil for the t case and rear diff

· Transmission Fluid - BG syncroshift (II)
· Transfer case - GL5 SAE90 OEM Diaqueen Mitsubishi fluid

Got one more qustion, on Lancershop.com, I found the GL5 SAE90 OEM Mitsu fluid for the Transer case and Rear Diff.
Would one Jug of that fluid be enough to cover both the T case and rear diff?

one jug will be more than enough. I think its enough to do them a couple times. they only require a tiny amount. something like .4 and .6 quarts or something like that I think it was
