I've been using Redline MTL in the tranny for years. Smooths out alot of cold-notchiness. It is less expensive, and lasts longer than GMFMSM.

Mobil1 75w90 Synth gear oil for the diff. Consistently clean when inspected during draining, with little to no "slime" on the magnet..........unlike the OEM fluid.

The best thing to do is change the fluids often. Any of them will do if you don't make them work past the "schedule".
