I've been running Amsoil in mine for about 9 months. I can't say it's better than anything else, but it's certainly not worse.

Bill Boudreau with ZR51 Performance just told me this for my new trans.
"BMW Castrol TWS 10W-60 full synthetic oil (BMW P/N 07510009420). The factory fill oil is a 5W-30 standard grade motor oil.
WARNING: DO NOT use MOBIL-1 oil in this transmission!"

If you hang around the racetracks, road race, drag strips, circle dirt
tracks in the pits - hang out with other teams and mechanics,
And take notice of every little detail going on around you at all times like I do..
You find out what works and don't for oils.
Guys here on C4 hate talking about oils for engines, transmissions, and rear differentials.
So I wont give any recommendations today.
If you drive like a little old lady on a Slow Sunny Day Sunday Drive in your Corvette........
Buying expensive oils is a waste of money for you........ Cheapest Trans oils will work just fine for you.

ZFDoc seems to me to be a pretty reputable source, and he recommends the BMW Castrol TWS 10W-60. About $8/qt from any BMW dealership. It's what I used when I changed the trans fluid in my '96, and shifts are smooth!
