Got a reply from Amsoil today.
"At this time, AMSOIL does not offer an ATF fluid meeting Diaqueen ATF-J3 specifications. Depending on the physical and frictional characteristics differ from our current automatic transmission fluids we offer, we may offer something in the future. If this fluid specification is a completely different oil than any previous transmission fluids offered by Mitsubishi, it may require a completely different formulation, and may not be available."
Not very hopeful, I'd say.

Depends on how common the fluid becomes and how different it is from other manufacturers fluids. AMSOIL does try to reach the biggest market it can with their products - not great for niche fluids but makes sense from a business POV. AMSOIL is constantly reworking their line of products.
US Retail of Signature Series ATL is currently $11.50/qt - Canadian retail is a bit more. Wholesale options exist so talk to your local dealer, site sponsor or PM me.

ATF J3 is probably just a slight improvement over ATF-J2. My '07 owner's manual says ATF-J2. My '07 service manual says ATF-J1.
Our auto transmission is also used in the Nissan XTrail. I haven't looked hard enough to figure out what they use in that.

Redline D6 ATF
Redline D6 ATF seems to be a suitable alternative for J2 as well.

Sorry Outlaander,
There is no AMSOIL product that meets the Mitsubishi ATF-J3 specification - yet.
I'll keep checking the specs on the AMSOIL Signature Series Fuel-Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid page - when I see AMSOIL add the spec to the list I'll post here. They usually like to make a big announcement when new specs are added.
