I'm coming up soon on my 15K maintenance on my 08 EVO X and I'll be needing to change out the oil in my tranny, transfer case, and engine. I'm pretty dead set on sticking with Mobil 1 5W30 full synthetic for the engine oil, but I'd like some advice on what's best for the tranny and transfer case. I've noticed a lot of EVO guys run 10W30 instead of 5W30. What's the benefit in doing this?
I heard AMSOIL is really good stuff to use in the tranny and transfer case. The stock fluid for the tranny is Mitsu NEW MULTIGEAR OIL 75W80 GL-3 and the transfer case is Mitsu LSD gear oil. AMSOIL has 75W90 tranny oil. Can this be used in my car without issue? I was also wondering about BG synchroshift II for the tranny. Any info and/or advice would be really helpful.
