Help! Can't get the recommended trans or diff fluid in Canada

I have a 2016 2SS and need to do the 72,000 km maintenance. I am planning on using https://www.amazon.ca/Royal-Purple-R.../dp/B001DKTG0G for the transmission fluid and https://www.amazon.ca/Mobil-104361-7...ve&sr=1-1&th=1 for the rear axle fluid

Is that ok? Is it only 1 quart for the transmission fluid? I saw a video where the guy used almost 2 quarts.

I can not get the ACDelco GM recommendation in Canada for some reason

Looks like it's 4 quarts for transmission and 1.2 quarts for diff?

I just did this on my 18 Camaro 1LE. I went with Redline D4 ATF for the trans

The gallon bottle should be enough as you should be adding just about 3 3/4 quarts or so. I think you fill until you're like 1/8 inch below the fill hole. But I just filled until it overflowed then removed about 8 ounces.

As for the diff, I used the AcDelco stuff.

From the research I did, it seems this is what most use, so I can't comment what might be good besides that. I put in about 1.6 quarts in my car. Hopefully others can recommend if you can use the Redline stuff. If the Trans stuff is good I would think the rear diff is too?

you've got double posts going on ... in your other post i mentioned that you 100% can get the OEM fluids as well as aftermarket of your choosing.

Redline, Royal Purple or OEM is all available through Amazon.ca, Canada Tire or local Chevy dealer.

Good luck
