Oil for built transmission,T/C and LSD rear diff.

What oil do you use for....
Built 5MT transmission?
T/C stage 3 with quaife LSD oil?
Rear differential with Cusco LSD?
Any suggestion?
I prefer Redline or Amsoil products.
I hope that you will help me out.
I try to search but I found hundrends of different answers.

Call shep and ask him what he recommends if you had drivetrain parts built at his place. Or whoever else built it, every person has his own recommendation, there's a lot of ways that work and a lot of ways that don't.

Redline makes great stuff, here is the whole pack that you need: http://www.maperformance.com/redline...d-dsm-evo.html

Built or stock this stuff works great. I've used the Redline tranny fluid in built and stock transmissions and could never find a fluid that felt better.

After searching a lot of previous topics about the recommended oil for transmission,TC and rear diff I found the following. (Amsoil and Redline products only.)

For 5MT transmission:
AMSoil MTG 75-90 3qt
or
a mixture of Redline MT-90 (2qt) + Redline MTL (1qt)

For transfer case and rear diff (I do not know if is this ok for TC built with quaife LSD and rear diff with LSD like cusco????)
Amsoil SVG (1qt for each part)
or
Redline Heavyweight Shockproof (1qt for each part).

So can anyone help me?
I do not know if there is any difference about oil selection having or not ACD TC and also about the rear diff with AYC or without AYC.

Is the OEM fluids ok for the quaife LSD or should I use something different like Cusco L.S.D. OIL 80W-90 for both trasfer and rear diff?

I do not know if this is better than the classic Amsoil or Redline solution.

I use Castrol Syntrax in the gearbox and Silkolene Silktran Syn 5 in the T-case.
