Default Transmission/Differential/Brake fluid

Just wanted to see what kind brands you guys are using in the 350z for the transmission & differential & brakes, and what your experience has been with them.

I am thinking of going with the Motul 5.1 for brakes and Amsoil 75W-90 for the transmission and 80W-90 for the differential.

Royal purple for diff and red line for tranny. For redline you must mix 2 of them to get nissan spec.
There are a lot of good post about what to use and what not too on your Z

Redline now makes 75-85 gear oil designed for our gearboxes. I use it with Redline shockproof.

Differenetial: Motul 90PA

Have been using these for the past 65,000km. No issues during summer or winter or on the track. Just remember to change the fluids every 50,000km.

I used the Amsoil as you have spec'd and it was very good, I could actually feel the difference.

Does anyone know how much fluid is required for a drain and fill for the brakes (brembo) and clutch?
