Here in MI, Murrays auto parts sells Amsoil. Don't know what you've got in MO. If I were changing out the fluid in my MN6, probably go with Red Line or Royal Purple synthetics. Heard these products really smooth out the shifting of the MN6. Surely some forum venders sell these products as well as Amsoil. Locally, you're speed shop is the best bet. Just make sure you bring enough money.

Engine oil:
High Performance
AMSOIL Series 2000 0w30
Daily Drivers
AMSOIL SAE Synthetic 5w30
Oil Filter (part SDF32):
AMSOIL SDF Oil Filter
Transmission Fluid (meets GM Dexron III requirements for both A4 and MN6/12):
AMSOIL ATF
Gear Lube:

What weight oil do you run in your car now?
Is it under warranty?

If your car is under warranty, I would recommend, in this order, these AMSOIL products which meet the GM Standard 4718M for your engine:
AMSOIL Series 2000 0w30
AMSOIL SAE Synthetic 10w30
AMSOIL SAE Synthetic 5w30

If your car isn't under warranty, and depending on what viscosity you currently run, I'd consider these oils which do not meet GM Standard 4718M but do meet API SL standards:
AMSOIL Synthetic 5w40 European Motor Oil
AMSOIL SAE Synthetic High Performance 10w40

For the tranny:
AMSOIL ATF

For the diff:
AMSOIL Severe Gear Extreme Pressure Synthetic 75w90


P.S. Dropped you a PM with info on the AMSOIL Preferred Customer Program
