When do you change TC-SST Tranny Fluid?
Diaqueen SSTF part number C0002610 $120 a gallon x 2. Got it.

Front & Center Diff Fluid = uses Tranny fluid. Got it.

When do you change rear diff oil?
-Redline 75/90w Gear Oil Heavy Hypoid Shockproof with LSD additive. Got it.

When do you change Transfer Case Oil?
-Redline Heavyweight Shockproof? same as above w/o LSD addictive??

ACD Fluid is ATF? 100k service... got it.

I got 21k+ miles now. so I got to save & spend 240$ on Diaqueen SSTF to keep my car running right???
AWD is such a pain to maintain...

This is the actual instructions from the manual:

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL CHECK


1.After cleaning the outer surface of transaxle, visually check that there is no oil oozing or oil leaking from the transaxle.

2.If an oil oozing or leaking is present, replace the transaxle assembly.
TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE

1.Remove the engine compartment under cover front B assembly. (Refer to GROUP 51 − Under Cover P.51-16.)


2.Remove the oil drain plug to drain the oil.

NOTE:

Because the oil in the oil cooler and oil filter cannot be drained, the amount of drained oil will be approximately 5.5 dm3.

3.Tighten the oil drain plug to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 25 N⋅m (19 ft-lb)

4.Remove the air cleaner element, air cleaner intake duct, and air cleaner body. (Refer to GROUP 15 − Air Cleaner P.15-10.)

5.Remove the oil filler plug, then fill the oil.

Brand name: Mitsubishi genuine Dia-Queen SSTF-I

Filling amount: Approximately 5.5 dm3 (approximately 5.8 quarts)

6.Tighten the oil filler plug to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 25 N⋅m (19 ft-lb)

7.Install the air cleaner element, air cleaner intake duct, and air cleaner body. (Refer to GROUP 15 − Air Cleaner P.15-10.)

8.Start the engine, then let it idle for 1 to 2 minutes.

9.Move the shift lever to every position, and then move it to the P or N range.

10.Stop the engine, then perform Steps 2 to 5 again.

11.Check the oil level and oil fouling. (Refer to P.22C-328.) If fouling is found, repeat Steps 2 to 5 until the fouling is eliminated.

12.Install the engine compartment under cover front B assembly. (Refer to GROUP 51 − Under Cover P.51-16.)

Maybe the guy that wrote the manual has a brother-in-law that works for the company that makes the oil ;-)

The rinse-repeat is just that MMSA has you spend another extra $300 in fluid just to be sure you get all the nooks and crannys cleaned out :-) They are just thinking about _you_. It is all about YOU, the Customer @ MMSA :-)

Yeah I should rinse & repeat on my next engine oil change too for 4b11.
Where did I put that MEGA 50 gal Mobile1?

[MTZL]

ok but seriously... what about making a filter to catch fouling? to re-use the fluid.
