    Gearbox: Penrite MGO (manual gear oil) 70w.. It was purposely designed to be used in the T56 gearbox
    Diff: If you flog the crap out of your ss then I suggest Penrite Limslip 140w diff oil

    If you feel super rich you could go for Mainlube's offering for the gearbox. You can find plenty of info about it on LS1 forum. Supposed to be the pinnacle of T56 oils.
