Fluid change! Opinions please..

iv reached the 1,500 mile mark with the 1le. changing the motor oil, transmission fluid and rear axle oil. fluids im using -

Motor oil - 5w 30 mobile 1 with filter

Transmission fluid - Royal Purple Max ATF multi-spec

Rear Axle Oil - Royal Purple MaxGear 75w 90 / with friction modified additive


iv read that the automatic transmission fluid runs well with the Tremec6060 and is recommended. but i dont understand why not the Manual trans fluid when its a manual !!!!

i would like to know what you all think about my choice, any knowledge you can pass onto me i greatly appreciate it. thanks

The SS models use transmission fluid instead of gear oil in the M6 box. The end.
