Oils and filters. Opinions and research

OK, 2SS Vert. M-6. Feb. 28, 2021. Daily Driver. About 10,000 to 12,000 miles/year.
As always lots of debate over lubes and filters. Lots of research available. OEM requirements.
I was about to use the same DEXOS 1 Valvoline Synpower 5w-30 I use in my 6.2 Ford in my truck. It is justifiable per the owners manual. Not for track use.
Thinking about the Mobil 1 0w 40 too. Some info says the DEXOS 2 cert if for diesel engines. Diesel oils usually have higher detergent. Some guys are reluctant to use 0w anything.
I am planning to change tranny and rear axle fluids at 20,000 mile intervals. Or 15,000. Depends how it goes. Most indications are stock lubes suck. Ive had good experience with Redline gear lubes in my bikes. Was going to use that.
Also saw some mention somewhere about either a tranny or diff filter? Im thinking it was in the auto...
So I wanted to start a thread to hear all the opinions and arguments over lubes and filters?
