[s-cars] Fliud questions

[Tom Mullane]

Good progress on the garage queen this weekend despite the distraction of
concurrently installing a paver driveway for my tenant next door (he has a
BMW, so regular asphalt won't do - lol).  Got the front end all back
together with the springs and struts, camber plates, big reds, and new CV
boots.  I also took the tie rods apart and lubed them up to make the
alignment people happy.  I'm hoping to finish the rear this week and move on
to other things.  I think I will drive the car a bit before diving into the
RS2 stuff.

So anyway, I'm almost afraid to ask, but it is time to full and flush the
brake fluid, and change the trans and rear end fluid.  I expect this car to
be predominantly a road creature, but track use is very likely.  This is New
England, so temps will range from zero degrees Kelvin to the inferno of
Hell - sometimes during the same week.  The car currently has 73k on it, and
I assume it is running on dino oil.

So what to use and where - engine, trans, rear, brakes?  I under that the
trans needs GL4 and the rear prefers GL5 (no diff lock on this beast, if
that matters).  What the best thing to use, where to buy?  Should I bleed
the clutch, or just the brakes?  Engine oil blend or full synth?

I know this is a can of worms, but I have heard both good and bad about the
Redline stuff, I don't know much about the BG stuff....

TIA
