Can a Evo 5 Center Diff & AYC use this oil???
Hi guys,
just wonder can an Evo 5 centre diff use this Mit Diaqueen LSD Gear Oil gear SAE90???
I know Mit specified to use Hypoid GL-5 gear oil but we cant get it over here...

Lastly,can we use Mit Diaqueen ATF SP 111 for Ayc oil replacement?

Thanks

The mistubishi LDS gear oil is a GL-5 so you should be fine. The AYC uses Diamond ATF SPIII (At least on the new generation evos). If the AYC for the evo 5 also calls for SPIII then you'll be fine.

The diaqueen is SAE 90. I had that fluid in my evo 8 for 7 years through many track days and never had an issue. I changed it every 5000 miles.

NO, the transmission needs an GL4 Oil, LSD Oils are not ok for the synchros in stock cars

Hi, so you mean the Mit Diaqueen LSD Gear Oil (SAE90) is not suitable for Evo 5 Transfer Case aka Center Diff and Gearbox oil?

Sorry for the dumb question.

Please, read my Post

TRANSMISSION "Gearbox" not transfer or rear diff!!!

Rear Diff and TRANSFER CASE : SAE 90 GL5 LS ( or 75-90 GL5 LS )

TRANSMISSION : GL4 Oils 75-90 non LS (except for LSD equipped cars in TRANSMISSION, then GL4 75-90 LS )

The center diff( transfer case) and rear diff uses the LSD Gear oil which is a GL-5. The transmission calls for a GL-4 so you cannot use the LSD gear oil. A high quality 75W90 or straight 90 weight GL-4 fluid is what I would use for the transmission.
