Default Best tranny and dif fluid?

Ok so ive looked around the forum and im kind of confused on what kind of tranny and dif fluid i should get. To start off first i found that amsoil 80w-90 gl4 is a good choice but then in another thread they said to only use nissan dealer oils. Could someone please answer these questions for me. I dont want to buy it from the dealer, i want something from autozone. I dont want to mix 2 different oils eather.
What Transmission oil should i buy?(6mt)
What Differential fluid should i buy?

Bite the bullet, and buy the Nissan OEM fluid from the dealer for the transmission. Everything else causes issues.

Not sure about that, my car is tracked and beat on a regular basis and I run Motul or Amsoil depending on the price I can find it. Car shifts a lot better runner these fluids over stock, 110,000 miles, no problems and its an 03 transmission
