Default diff and tranny fluid

I'm getting ready for my first diff and tranny fluid change. I would appreciate if someone could please tell me EXACTLY which DIFF and which TRANNY fluid is best (also website to buy from).

Let me start by saying I've searched and read all threads, i'm just worried i'll end up with the wrong diff fluid and destroy my car.

I live in NJ so the climate is going to get cold real soon, please tell me which Diff fluid and which Trans fluid to buy, how much to buy and where to get it from, thanks a lot guys please excuse the fact that i'm a Ra-tard (the hangover)

I agree. And this is exactly what I've always used.

FYI: They tranny oil can go MUCH longer than the diff oil can without a change before damage occurs. I personally wouldn't go over 20K miles on one diff change. I change every 10K miles.

LE1605 is another good choice for the diff. You can get it from www.ricks2k.com
