I think the OEM fluids are more lifetime or 100k fluids ~ meaning OEM fluids need to be changed around 50k while the RL fluids would need to be replaced every 30k.

At least this is my schedule -- although I have used OEM MT fluid but RL in the DIFF.

RL 5W-30 oil with OCI of 5K in an N54 for me as well -- RL has been great.
RL 75/90 NS for the diff unless you have a clutch type LSD
