A little over 2000 miles here on a manual 2016 BRZ. I changed my fluids last weekend. The transmission fluid was clear but had a metallic sheen. The differential fluid was black and the drain plug was coated in metal shavings. I think these cars benefit from doing an early fluid change once everything breaks in. I was surprised at how much junk was in the differential. Mine looked similar to the one posted above but with only 2000 miles on it.
I also recommend Motul if you can get it. After doing some extensive reading, it seems like most people have the best luck with Motul in the differential and transmission.
I have also read good things about Pennzoil Synchromesh for the transmission. This is what I used. It shifts perfectly now. I noticed a little clunkyness going into 2nd, as so many others have reported. After changing the fluid, it shifts much smoother. For the rear differential I used Mobil1 75w-90 gear oil. Like I said, I didn't have access to Motul and for me, Mobil was a close second.
