Yes, the new engine case design replicates the new 950 and 1000. This separates the engine and transmission so they are NOT "shared-sump" engines any longer. The transmission will take the same gear oil that the diffs use which after break-in I recommend a 75-90 synthetic. However until break-in is completed you should use a conventional gear lube and yes, do change it and the diffs on your first engine oil change. After that skip changing them the second engine oil change but do on the third and switch all to the synthetic at that time. You could also switch to synthetic on the engine at that time too if you wish but pick a good one. Never go cheap on fluids or filters. It would also be wise on the second engine oil change to at least check the valve lash. And like all CFM machines, if you want it to live past 1000 miles in dusty conditions, get that Unifilter air filter in it before even your first ride...and use a quality foam filter oil treatment. Most of us use Maxima Fab-1.
Congrats and welcome to the forum.
