Someone correct me if I am wrong, but lubricating fluids are only 3 places: engine, transmission, differential(s).

I still run Dino oil in my engines. I have been getting 185k to 220k+ so far with that strategy.

My GM trucks have a factory spec of synthetic for the front and rear differentials.

Transmission is ATF. I really don't know what that is.

There is also power steering fluid, but I just don't see towing as impacting that.

Brake fluid should not be impacted by towing, as long as you downshift when going down long steep roads.
