I was thinking of giving this a try, and keeping it local with my Amsoil guy...I think you may have heard of him....Oliver?

This is what you want for the AX-15, not that. This is the fluid I use in mine - works amazing.

For manual transmission or differentials?

GL-5 is not for the brass syncros in the ax-15. It will literally eat them. GL-4 is the only fluid to use in that transmission
I made this mistake too when i first changed my fluid. Thankfully it was only in there a couple weeks. Their website is wrong.

Yes, GL-5 compliant. Synthetic, can be used in GL-4 applications as well. (so it says)
I know better sir. I know about brass and synchros. I am not saying you are wrong, because the oil you point out is just as good. May even be better because it does reference the Chrysler part number replacement.
Just saying, the synths don't eat synchros the same way. AMSOIL is yellow metal safe.

One other point...SUPPOSEDLY the initial AX-15 does better with GL-3, but the synchro part numbers were superseded in 1997 and do fine with GL-5. I run Yellow Metal safe lubricants anyway to be sure.

The product you referenced says "...The proprietary AMSOIL additives form an iron-sulfide barrier coating on gear surfaces, providing the ultimate line of defense...". That's a big red flag.
You're free to choose whatever you want, but i recommend whatever you choose specifically says "yellow metal/brass safe". Don't say i didn't warn you...
