Amsoil full synthetic motor oil
Honda Z1 trans fluid - my is not to bother with anything else. Amsoil has a comparable product but I just can't justify the price.

Mobile 1, 5w20 for me. I've used Amsoil with past cars and it's excellent as well...

Anyone use anything synthetic in the tranny?

Mobile 1, 5w30. I change it every 5k miles. Not sure if the interval is too short but I noticed the oil is pretty dark.

Amsoil ATF for better tolerance of higher tranny heat, Amsoil 5w-20 for low wear, higher power and better mpg.
