Amsoil options for PTU, RDU and transmission

I bought my car with around 61k miles on it, so I don't have the details on what oils have been used.  And I bet the PTU and RDU have never been changed.  Looking around on here I heard good things about Amsoil and their yearly membership.  If I go that route I might as well use them for all the fluids, lol.  I searched around and found what fluid I'm going with for motor oil.  I haven't been able to find much in the way of what fluid to use in the other locations.  I live in Central Florida so it's fairly warm.  What Amsoil fluids do folks recommend for PTU, RDU, and transmission?

Amsoil periodically has sales too.   This helps offset shipping charges.  If you find a local distribution center or wholesaler. You could save the shipping as well.

You guys are awesome, I really appreciate the info.  I know a little bit of the basics for motor oil, but I can admit I'm out of my element when it comes to the other fluids.  I really had no idea proper weights for gear oil, and such.  Thanks guys.

So I looked it up and I think I'm in luck, SHOdded.  Where I live there is a distribution center within a short drive, and then 3 retailers within bicycling distance, lol.  If I sign up as an Amsoil preferred customer do I still get their wholesale discount when buying from a local retailer?

yes you should. when you sign up you will be asked to pick a local dealer(usually private) or they will automatically assign you one and you can get product from them also. you can avoid paying shipping costs since the local dealers just tack your items onto their existing orders.

Right on.  Yall don't know the sigh of relief I am breathing that there is this active ecoboost community.  Before I had my son I was driving an NB Miata and the community was always super helpful.  I really glad the same type of thing exists here.  I had a Lexus GS430 for a bit, and I'll say the community for that car was... "less helpful" lol.
