Yes. This. There's no need to get ATF from a Mitsubishi dealer when Maxlife covers Mitsubishi's specs perfectly. I have used it before on '02, and '04 models with absolutely no difference in performance, or shortening of it's service life. Both those Montero Sports are 200K+ mile vehicles now, and still going strong. They're built extremely well.

Not sure about the differentials though, but I can't think of anything in there that would suffer from the use of any brand hypoid gear oil in the proper viscosity, with limited slip additive already included, or added separately. There's no yellow alloy, or non-ferrous metals in there that I can remember, except for the material that they make the LS clutch's friction material from. I don't think the diffs specify synthetic fluid, but if it were mine, I would use it with the LS additive already in it.

Is yours AWD Toby?
