Drivetrain Fluids for IX?

I need help choosing the right fluids. I have read mixed reviews but I plan to change them every 6K miles. Also The ACD fluid when does it get changed? If you have any recommendations please speak them!

TC: Diaqueen LSD or Redline?
RD: ?
MT: BG Syncroshift

the rear diff uses dia queen it will have a little white sticker that says lsd. but it uses diaqueen. the acd fluid doesnt need to be changed for the most part i have only seen two that have shown signs of slipping clutchs (internally in transfercase) but every time you open the acd line you have to bleed the system. Hint theres a trick for that. but it uses sp2 approve auto trans fluid witch you can get anywhere. i would recommend changing the fluids every 15k.

DO NOT run anything but oem tc and rear diff fluid...as the majority of people that have, have had problems...it's not worth the risk and without oem fluid a dealer is likely to not warranty you either(not that they honor warranties anyway haha but yeah)

the tranny you can use whatever you'd like search and see what others use
