After reading many posts on tranny flushes,with numerous versions on what oil to use etc.(recommend Mitsu oil).I am about do do a flush.I have had the opportunity to by 12 litres at cost price of 36 bucks per 4 litre bottle of Castrol TQM-ST(son has contacts) and it states sp3 rated.The castrol internet site states it suits,but,Im still unsure as I dont want to stuff things up as the current oil is sort of light brown with some blackness in it.Has any one had problems with this oil,or any recommendations.The process for the flush is not a issue.

That is fine.
genuine mitsubishi oil is actually still cheaper as I pay $37 for 5 litres RRP.

So your still getting ripped off a tad
