Yes, Redline MTL for the NV5600. The tranny will hold 4.5 quarts, all little more if you jack up the rear of the truck.
Transfer case is ATF+4
Front axle use synthetic 75w-90 and the rear synthetic 75w-90 or 75w-140.

Mine would only take 4 quarts. 
i called the dealership and they said 4 quarts, so I bought 5 just in case. The truck was pefectly level, and even at 4 quarts, it started pouring out the fill hole. Should I jack up the rear and add more?

Did you pull the PTO cover, or just the bottom bolt?
I pulled my cover and there was still quite a bit of old oil sitting in the bottom of the case that I pumped out, then put in about 4.5 q...

My first tranny fluid change I pulled the PTO cover off and cleaned the magnet. The magnet had a fine layer of metal attached.
The G56 requires ATF+4. I heard the tranny holds 7 quarts which is above the fill hole.

The magnet is just sitting in the bottom. Mine had a bunch of metal on it (photo in my gallery).
I pulled the right cover, and it was easy to reach in get the magnet.

Yes, Redline has C+ Auto Tranny fluid. And, they have 75w-90 Gear oil for front and rear end too. If you order the 75w-90 get the stuff with the ls additive in it, instead of the 95w-90NS oil. It will emlinate any rear end chatter. Yes, I know these trucks don't have clutch packs in them.
Cheapest place I ever found was www.myoilshop.com out of PA. THey ship it directly to your house! Almost everything is $7 a quart.

Someone gave you bad information that MTL isn't GL-4 . Matter of fact, I have some left over and will be replacing wife's Hyundai Santa Fe 5 spd transaxle fluid with the MTL in about 30.days.
