Do you guys have any recommendations for the t-case 80w90 oil? Something local since I am taking in my monty for major service tomorrow. Anyone against lucas? I wish I could find Amsoil locally, but I can't. Thanks in advance.

Id just stick with a good quality dino lube. I'm no rocket scientist but I'd be willing to bet money that the difference between lubes would be inconsequential with normal off road use (I.e. operationally it would not be noticeable after 500k miles) so long as you're changing fluids as prescribed by mitsu. If you're racing it, that might be a different story, but then again you probably wouldn't be asking that question here if you were.Originally Posted by m3at333hp

Hey, not making light of anything here. And in all fairness, I'm far from any kind of expert and literally learn something new every day on mitsu's so before you decide, wait to hear what others have to say.

GrassCat III, 1994 Montero 5 speed stock ( for a little while ).
GrassCat II, 1998 Montero with winter package. All the bells a whistles. Ran off with Hector.
GrassCat I, 1991 Ran off with Justice R.
I use redline heavy shock in the diffs and t-case, works stellar.
Hell there are no rules here, were trying to accomplish something!

I'm running Amsoil in the t-case and diffs., and have run their lubes in all of my 4x4 vehicles- it has always performed flawlessly.
I've used the following in my Gen. III since it was purchased ten years ago:
T-case: 75w-90 severe gear
diffs: 80w-90 gear lube
'02 Montero: OME suspension, ARB front bumper, sliders, homemade 4mm skid plates and spare tire Blitz can mount, extended breathers,
K&N air filter, Optima Yellow Top, BajaRack, IPF lights, Goodyear Duratrac 265/75/16's, RUD 4x4 Grip Chains

I ended up just using dino Chevron T-case oil and Mobil 1 diff oils. I wish regular stores carried amsoil. A lot of BMW guys like the stuff too!
