Engine and Trans fluid change
I got my z51 c6 a few months back and want to replace drivetrain and engine fluids. I've seen in other threads where GM is recommended for differential. What do some of you guys use for engine(true synthetic) and transmission?
Also, my c6 is an 08 with the ls3, it's a wetsump correct?

I used Red Line in my car since I bought it new in 2006. I liek the product so much, I went to work for them in January when I retired.
It really makes a difference in the trans.

I've used redline in the past with another platform with great results, mostly the shockproof. Car has amsoil 10-30 according to the dealer but I would feel a lot better in knowing what's in the car. Amsoil would be great.

OP: I have all fluids and filters changed every 30K miles, which is around every March for me.
Engine - Mobil 1 high mileage 5w30 & Mobil 1 filter. "Drain & Fill".
Trans (A6) - GM fluid & filter. "Drain & Fill".
Diff - GM fluid. "Drain & Fill".
Coolant - GM fluid + two bottles of Red Line Water Wetter. "Flush".
Brakes - Motul rbf 660 switching to Castrol srf at next "Flush".
PWR Steering - Red Line.
So far I have over 170K on my 07 DD.
