    Engine oil is 10W-40 Semi-Synthetic
    Gearbox Oil is 75W-80 Gear Oil (mtf)
    Brake fluid should be DOT 4.0

    I've got a timing belt guide I made years ago on 106oc. i'll go dig it out.

    I would advise buying a Haynes manual for everything you need to know especially the timing belt,cheap and worth the money.

    Red power steering fluid. Don't use green.

    Dexron II works well.
