Mitsu Dia Queen SP-III

[Kitty's VR4]

Have just been informed by local Mitsubishi dealer, that they no longer stock Dia Queen SP-III, they then suggested the BP equivilent "Autran MMSP3", has anyone used this and if so whats the feedback on the use of this fluid in Trans & AYC. Or do I just get AMSOIL?????

BP makes the oil for Mitsi, so it will be ok. Amsoil is still better though

i use the misti stuff, absolutely nothing wrong with it imo.

I beg to differ, I've used amsoil and am "heading back"

At a cost of 50% less than Amsoil, I think I'll stick with the Mitsubishi stuff for a long, long time. Plus, it's a hell of a lot easier to get your hands on.

I find it VERY hard to believe that Amsoil SPIII is any better than the Diamond queen. Probably just a different container with a much higher price. When it boils down to it they are both probably quality trans oils and it's pretty hard to justify the massive price difference.
And I find it strange that apart from here and Club VR4 I have never even heard of Amsoil fluids. If they are so outstanding why isn't the rest of the car community sharing the enthusiasm? Sorry, but im just a bit skeptical....

thank christ.. not everyone around here is a AMSOIL nut.

i think its a waste of time and money.

Rofl! Go the hating.

At the spares place today the guy was saying that Nulon have just brought out some friggin awesome fully synth that everyone is raving about and is quite reasonably priced.

Unless amsoil prices drop to something reasonable I wont be getting it again. $90 for 5L makes my anus quiver.

The Nulon synthetic engine oil is between $50 and $60 for 6ltrs.
It's great! This is the third time now I've mentioned how good this stuff is. Hopefully some people start to listen.

I was looking at Nulon, they have a 10W-40 full synth for $49.90 at Autobarn at the moment. Thinking of getting this for my next change, as a 0W-30 is way too thin for my worn lifters - getting too much bleed down and running noisy. Was suggested I head to 20-50 but that's a little to thick for my liking.

10w40 is what I use.

I asked the question a while ago about BP making an oil equivelent because I was quoted by Ralliart themselves that, they only use this BP AUTRAN MMSP3 in the evo 4s etc, I told them it was for a Legnum/Galant and they said thats what they would use!!!! So there you go!!!!
