I just switched my car over from the old type of Mobil 1 Synthetic Trans fluid to the Valvoline Synthetic Dexron VI stuff....and it made a significant difference! It runs smoother, shifts firmer, and my looongtime iffy 3-4 shift is now firm!!!! I couldn't believe it! 60k with a weak 3-4 shift and now its firm...awesome. The stuff is only $4.59 a qt too....I got it during napa's 50% of day so I did a whole trans fluid/filter change for about $34! I do mine once a year regardless of mileage. All of our cars are now on the Valvoline Dex VI, and they all shift great....the other cars have been running it almost a year now. Highly Recommend it!
As for engine oil, I've found the Rotella Syn 5w40 to be a good product. And its cost effective on a 4k change interval.
