    Re: Fluids

    Coolant should be a 50/50 mix. (Are you planning to use green or red?)
    For the engine, I would suggest 5w30 motor oil.
    I don't think the power steering fluid matters, use any.

      Thats what I was asking about whats better red or green?
      And my engine takes 10w30, I wanted to know about favorite brands.

          If you make a switch, just make sure you flush the other out really well. I like green.

            I would use like the prestone dexcool and Mobil 1.

            I personally use GM fluids cause the way i see it, my car cost me way to much to be cheap with....Except i use mobil 1 because well, gm doesn;t have an oil...really
