what is good transmission oil?

I heard our stock transmission oil in 370Z is a junk. Since i drive automatic 370Z, i think i must change transmission oil... Can anyone recommend the best transmission oil?

Transmission oil just slows down the cogs. Try just draining all the oil out for the least amount of resistance. IF you absolutely must put something back in I heard distilled water is the best.

NOS makes a great transmission oil for automatics. It's in a blue bottle. (*I'm kidding*)
