Castrol is OE so you can use that as well. You basically want a product with a higher TBN, low NOACK, oxidiation resistance and also check the viscosity index. Based off those I recommend Amsoil, Redline, Mobil 1 or Pennzoil

Um, sorry bud. I did not want to flame you on all the other OIL threads, but all of your info here is wrong, and none of those oils meet spec for the 6hp. And the transmission is a ZF, the factory, or OE oil is gold colored ZF as well. The only oil that meets speck, is ZF lifeguard 6 for our cars. Anything else, and you are playing games with a $3k rebuild. Feel free to check my facts by searching the forums as to what oil meets spec for our transmission.
P.S. Even though you say you are trying to sell Amsoil on the side, it sure does seem like you are trying way too hard.
P.P.S. Amsoil is bullshit.
