Default Amsoil going in the trans

I did a search but can't find a post with info on what kind of amsoil to put in the manual transmission and the differential. The amsoil web site list several:
-Synthetic Extreme Pressure Lubricant
-Long Life Synthetic Gear Lube
-Synthetic Gear Lube

Can someone tell me which one going in the tranny and what goes in the differential?

Thanks

For your M6 tranny you want this;

They changed their gear lubes (differential fluid) since I changed mine. But
this is the one I'll get next time around;

Great, Thanks

Someone told me to use ATF in the M6 but that didn't sound right to me, guess I was wrong.

Thats an awesome looking sled by the way... if I didn't go with black I would have gone withe the Mag.Red.

Have you it dyno'd with those mods?

Thank you, think I'll keep her a while!

Lower right in the sig are the dyno #'s: 410rwhp/374rwtq

I too was concerned about the correct tranny fluid, but thats the stuff!
Another forum member set me straight.

You need to use a compatible dexron ATF in the M6. A synthetic ATF will work well if compatible with what GM recommends.
Who do you trust? The people who desgined the tranny or someone who sells fluids? These trannies use carbon blocking rings in the syncros and need the proper friction lube to work right...
Better not to guess... use what the Manuf recommends.

Follow this link:

Just enter the year of your car and click on "build list". Follow the easy instructions and continue entering information until the build list appears on the right side of the screen...pretty neat stuff from Amsoil.

4 quarts of Amsoil ATF arrived this afternoon to go into my mn6 tranny. I researched this to death. This, or similar synthetic atf, is the way to go in my opinion.
