Whatever the dealer puts in for the DD's, not worth my time to do oil changes.
For my Firebird:
Brad Penn oil
GM Synchromesh in the TKO
Wilwood brake fluid
Napa/Valvoline HD gear oil in the rear (Moser/Detroit TruTrac)

Royal Purple Engine oil
Ford heavy Duty brake Fluid PN C6AZ-19542-AA (one of the better kept secrets, it our performs most racing brake fluids, and is cheaper than most brands)
B+M Trickshift ATF (For power steering too)
AMS oil gear oil
For coolant I use ethylene glycol based coolants, which are pretty much impossible to find in a retail situation. Everything now is propylene glycol, and isnt nearly as good. Best place to find this stuff is places that sell tractor parts, just make sure the bottle lists ASTM D 5216. This is the "old" style coolant that kills people. For a newer engine you want propylene glycol, OAT, or HAOT coolants.
