    Check www.realoem.com 

    Some will have a sticker on the transmission advising which type, all the oils you list are well known good brands so if they show compatibility with your trans and diff you should be OK

    The auto transmissions I would stick with ZF Longlife I believe the 6 speed is ZF also
