pick up your M1 engine oil at wallmart - best prices around here
comparing to AZ, AA and PB. Quarts are a hair cheaper than the 5qt jug.

M1 diff lube will need additive (that's the route I went). as has been
mentioned RedLine doesn't, and I think Royal Purple includes it too.

my t-case specs dexron II, I used M1 in there.

for your manny tranny, no clues here.
