Redline shockproof or the Mobil stuff in the tranny is what I am hearing is best. I have Formula+ in my tranny and topped it off after an end cover change with some old Castrol hypoid stuff I had laying around, instantly shifted better. Dont use the Formula+ in tranny is my advice. Primary? Anything goes but your safe with fomula+ or even some regular old 20/50 from what I am hearing. Cant go wrong with the good $hit either.
