I used Amsoil synthetic in mine. Subdiver is a vendor here. If you'll do a search you will find that most use either Mobil 1, Amsoil, or Royal Purple; and everyone has their own opinion. I've been pleased with Amsoil thusfar.

Manual

DEXRON-III Automatic
Transmission Fluid - per the manual, but as Tact stated, this topic will bring out "favorites", those being AMSOIL, Royal Purple, Redline, etc.

Although we chose Amsoil I'm sure others will perform just as well. I personally liked the stats on Amsoil a bit better.

AMSOIL...not just because of the results but also because i cant get fluids for the motor, trans, and diffy all at once and from one place!
When i place my order it took two minutes and i was done with it. I didnt have to worry about adding limited slip modifier to the diffy fluid or any of the common complications with other fluids...
Motor: Amsoil Synthetic 5w-30 (ASL)
Trans: Amsoil Synthetic ATF (ATF) the trans takes about 3.75 quarts
Diffy: Amsoil Synthetic 75w-90 Severe Gear Lube (SVG) the diffy take about 1.75 quarts
2 amsoil hand pumps (1 for diffy fluid, 1 for trans fluid) (G2039)
should be around 200 bucks and 2 hours of work total! Very easy to do the diffy and trans...
