I am getting ready to do my first engine and trans oil change on my 914 track car. I run an accusump if it matters

Looks like previous owner was putting redline 15-50 in the engine. Book calls for straight 30w. I generally prefer Mobil One and was planning 15-50. Any thoughts?

Then for the transmission, book call for 90w. I was again planning for Mobil One manual trans oil. if I can find it. Any thoughts?

Thanks
