Here, I did the search for you. It was a sticky under the general tech section. You should have a bit of a look around the site. You might find some other handy hints that you haven't even thought of.

Nizpro put Mobil1 0w-40w which is like $90. I changed it the other day and put Valoline Synthetic 10w-40w. Havent seen the Nulon but will keep a look out.

Havent changed the T56 oil yet.

I did change the fuel filter though. Didin't feel a hole lotta different but if you car has done say 30k, for the $20 or so for the filter (bugger of a job though) its worth it. There is a thread about changing. Biggest issue iot loosenign off the nuts and tightening it. The Rycos need extra tight, the motorcraft fits a bit better.

I was really surprised they used 0w-40 though. I alwasy beleived the lower the first number was the vicosity when cold and I would have thought you needed and bit of oil to stay on components when it is off so less wear art startup. But then again, Im a Network Tech, What do I know.

Brake fluid I saw in the Repco catalog, PBR Dot 4, cost $4.99 from like $8.50 so pretty cheap.. Any idea if its any good and how much would I need to completely flush the braking system?
