Default Are OEM GM fluids synthetic?

I know there are a billion opinions on which fluids to use for tranny, diff and power steering but are GM OEM fluids at least synthetic?

Some are, some aren't. I don't know the specifics, though, cause I don't use any of them except the EOS and posi additive (and I only used that when I couldn't find it anywhere else one day). It all seems really pricey to me. Hopefully some one who does will speak up.

The GM power steering fluid is supposed to be on 1994-96 models.

Depends on the year.

Not all of them are, but you should replace any fluid with a synthetic.
