Default Diff / Transmission Oil Used?

Hey everyone its about that time to change my Transmission / Diff oil. I was curious to know what brands everyone uses and what the pro's and con's are. I'm the second owner of this car and I honestly can't believe I have put over 10k miles already only having it for a little over a year now. Thanks for your inputs.

Redline is by far one of the best. But Lucas differential oil is also really good. I personally used Lucas on customer's M3s who want more of a high performance oil. Some of them said they actually felt a huge difference, the driving was smoother. But then again I never put them on the Zs so I don't know how they feel. But if you want to put the best of the best, Redline is your answer.

Amsoil for me for engine, diff, and transmission (manual). I used redline from 30k-60k btw, no problems to report. Same thing can be said of my current setup.
