Default Replacing fluids

Hi,

I usually dont ask for any advice as I just look through the forums for answers. But this certain topic has SO MUCH back and forth regarding what oil brand should be used for the S. So instead of tallying all the replies regarding all the fluids there is for our S, I would like to ask for any feedback with what I'm about to put into my baby.

Engine Oil: 5 Quarts AMSOIL SAE 10W-30 Signature Series 100% Synthetic Motor Oil
http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-produc...?code=ATMQT-EA

Transmission Oil: 2 Quarts AMSOIL Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid 5W-30
http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-produc...?code=MTFQT-EA

Differential Oil: 1 Quart AMSOIL Severe Gear® 75W-90
http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-produc...?code=SVGQT-EA

Please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong here or if I can do better.

Thank you all for your help

Yep...what you have chosen is good.I personally favor the SG 75w110 over the 75w90.

I use the same amsoil as you for motor and diff. I love them both. I prefer to use Honda MTF for my tranny though.

As you are in Canada going synthetic, I recommend 0W-30 for the engine. For more info see Bob the Oil Guy Website/ Oil 101
