Diaqueen is the only thing I would consider in the 6 Speed.

Running the Amsoil GL4 in mine, working well. People sometimes complain of notchiness using diaqueen. For some it works well, but there are good alternatives.

Is Mitsubishi Fluids pretty much the best for all driveline parts? It seems everyone eventually comes back to OEM fluids from what i read

I also reccomend DiaQueen for the 6-speed, t-case and rear end unless you are at really high HP/Torque.

I have tried 4 different fluids in my 5-speed and the Redline Cocktail is what feels best to me.

I use the GM/BG stuff in mine, it is easily available and despite the slightly shorter life works really good for me. I rather change once a year and have fresh stuff versus leaving something in longer.

I have used Nulon and was quite notchy so went back to Diaqueen, smoothness returned. Still replace once a year though. I'm pedantic with the fluids....plus have access to a hoist
