I recommend:
AMSOIL Torque-Drive Synthetic Transmission Fluid (product code ATD1G)
AMSOIL Severe Gear Extreme Pressure Synthetic 75w90 (product code SVGQT)
AMSOIL Slip-Lock Differential Additive (product code ADABA) (note - I recommend one bottle for the C6)
AMSOIL Hand Pump (product code G2039)

I use the ATD and SVG in my daily driver 06 CTS-V and have been using the SVG in my 02 Z06 track car. For the Z06, I have been using the AMSOIL ATF in the tranny and may switch to the ATD as I now believe the ATD is the better fluid as it has no viscosity modifiers and thus is totally shear stable which is why I switched my CTS-V over to the ATD.

I'm running Amsoil in my engine, trans (MZ6), and rear. No complaints.
