Hey all new guy again I was looking through all the e30 faq and DIY section and I didn't see anything for recommended lubricants and maintenance procedures. I want to change my oil and the power steering fluid, and I have to also bleed the clutch slave cylinder and supply that reservoir with new fluid. I was thinking Mobile on the engine oil maybe a 10-40 I have some premium dot3 brake fluid as well (3 quarts worth). Any suggestions because the things my manual has in it are no longer in production and I don't want to buy lubes from the dealer. Thanks

on the brake fluid just buy one of the big containers of brake fluid i think its like 16oz or something like that, your choice on brand. most people put 40 or 50 weight oil, i do 20 50w castrol synthetic.
for the power steering just buy any atf or any power steering fluid, your choice of brand. i would do any of the big name brands at your local auto store, not there house brand.
