As many of you will know, Mitsubishi recommends three lubricants for the AYC diff:
Hypoid gear oil is just a standard 80W90 GL5 or higher machine oil, so that's easy enough. And ATF-SPIII is simple enough, too. What gets more complicated is the 'AYC Fluid'. Partly because most people aren't using this at all in their diffs, and partly because no one can tell me exactly what the specs for it are.
So today I drove down to Amcap, our friendly Mitsubishi (and every other brand, it appears) parts distributor, to take a look at a 1L can of genuine Mitsubishi AYC fluid.
My intention was to jot some specifications down and talk to some lube specialists about possible replacements. But then I came across this:
Yup, not useful at all for someone that can't read Japanese.
So if anyone can read this (or knows someone who can) and can give me a translation I'd REALLY appreciate it!! Here's a better pic for improved readability:
