^ those fluids are fine for a stock setup.
If you are running higher power levels this is what I use
Gearbox: Castrol syntrans
Transfer: Redline heavy shockproof
Diff: Redline heavy shockproof.

How much time do you spend in a parking lot with your performance car? If you do a lot of parking lot driving, and hang out in parking lots, chances are you are a ricer, go home and read import tuner. If you’re complaining about noise you should not be modifying your car. You should also consider no longer being a man, please hand in your genitals at the door.

Or learn how to rebuild boxes once it makes decent torque 😝
VMX is the stock recommended oil and doesn't have anywhere near the shear strength of the ones I've listed. Of course I'm also making quite a bit more than 500 atw so it might be fine with lower hp numbers.
I just know that I toasted a couple of boxes on VMX and haven't broken a thing on syntrans.
But hey, anyone can use whatever they like as long as it works for them.
