They used non-synthetic motor oil in mine, I am not sure about the transmission or dif fuilds though.

I like synthetics personally, they offer superior protection and durability. The only downside is they tend to be a more expensive. If you can afford it I say go for it!

I had Sewell Hummer, Dallas do my 50K Service Package:

Diffs, 89021677 - GM Synthetic Axle Lubricant- 75W-90 Weight, $22.00
Tranmisson, Transfer Case 88861003 - GMDEXRON®-VI ATF, $7.36

Since my first oil change, Castrol 5W-30.

Gotta say, Sewell has given me a great service experience over the years

You're diff's and trans already have synthetic fluid in them. Replace with synthetic.
