Engine Oil = Royal Purple is good company. I used them also, sometimes mobil1 depending on which one I feel like using.

Tranny wise, it would depend on if your auto or manual.

Auto = I would recommend using OEM.
Manual = Synthetic blend is good to use. I used the same Royal Purple 75/90 on the diff.

I like Royal purple for my transfer and differential, but if I had some Amsoil ATF around, that would go in my tranny

Yeah, I heard some people using Amsoil Syn ATF fluid and being fine, but not everyone agrees on it...

To be 100% safe, I would use OEM. If boosted ppl are running OEM fluid with no problem, than it should be good enough for N/A or stock ppl.
