The service guys at the dealer I bought my car from freaked out when I mentioned the change, saying it would void the warranty, while another one I went to said that was stupid because the fluids are far better than the factory fill.

Honestly, if you don't mention anything, I do not think they'll be able to tell the difference between factory and aftermarket fluids as GTOs are so far and few inbetween. Too busy working on Grand Ams -- and it's not like they'll be cracking open transmissions and differentials all day.
That's kind of what the RP tech told me... he actually said it was illegal for a dealer to analyze your fluids to see exactly what you used. Don't know if that's true or not. I just wanted to make sure whatever I used met the factory specs so in the event I ever did have any problems, I wouldn't be giving them an easy excuse. I know the factory fluid was red, though, and the RP is, uh, purple, so that might tip them off if I ever have any trans problems.
