Engine is in! Now for all the fluids?

[mother_russia]

Sup dudes...
Well, I bought my 1990 325i sedan a little over a month ago. Got a really good deal, without a running motor. The m20 motor is finally finished was put back in today.
Now, I need the following:
- engine oil
- tranny oil
- coolant
- brake fluid
- misc fluids

So, what type of fluid should I be getting, and how much of it?
Please be as specific as possible! I tried to look around for these but couldnt find much info on anything...
Thank you in advance!!!

I normally use the tears of 100 virgins instead of oil. Keeps my e30 running pure and it's intentions innocent.

Now, I need the following:
- engine oil
- tranny oil
- coolant
- brake fluid
- misc fluids

- 20w50 Castrol or Valvoline
- 75w90 gear oil (Castrol/Valvoline)
- Regular green is fine, whatever's cheap.
- Again, cheap off the shelf fluid.
- Make sure to use MD3 ATF in the power steering

Did you download a free copy of the Bentley Manual? If not, do it right away.

20w50 synthetic or conventional, whatever brand you wish for the motor.
Redline Mel for the trans
BMW blue coolant
Any brake fluid, can use ate super blue or mogul rb90 if you want to spend.
Reline 75w90 for the diff

Synthetic oil and BMW blue coolant are wastes of money on an m20. Mainly the 4v/cylinder engines need that stuff. You can use your choice of 75w90 in the tranny and diff, I'd recommend going synthetic on those. And yes you can get this all at auto zone.

To make sure your engine is clean on the inside, just run straight Tide. To make sure it's clean on the outside, stick Orbit gum all over it

[bmwstudent]

now it is clear, that makes much more sense
