Subject:      Which Fluid Brands do you use in the Van 2.1 L Auto High Milage
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes

Hey everyone which Fluid Brands do you use in your Van?

My van is 2.1L Auto with rebuilt engine and rebuilt transmission.

Note that I only want to use products which are commonly available on road. Redline would be my only exception because you change the tranny fluid every couple of years.

Coolant: What are peoples feedback on the Prestone Extended life or Dex Cool? Which is better?

PowerSteering Fluid: I was using a Valvoline product which seemed ok.

Transmission Fluid: Red Line or something else?

Gear Box Oil?

Oil: Mobil 1 or Castrol? Which grade? 5/30, 10W/40 etc..

Going to be driving cross country during the hot summer.

Thanks to everyone for their feedback.

Regards,

Robert 88 Auto Wolfsburg Auto
