Evening all, just thinking that I am going to buy some fluids this weekend for top ups when required etc, all look ok at the minute but wanted to see what everyone uses for the following:

clutch fluid
power steering fluid
enginge oil (read very different opinions on this)
antifreeze

may sound obvious to some but I know there are loads of different antifreezes for example now, so any specific types needed?
Any help much appreciated, cheers.

"enginge" oil will depend on what you intend to do with the car. Gissa clue? Ditto brake fluid, the one you didn't mention.

Good quality 20w50 or 10w40. Some say mineral, some synthetic. All say good quality. Some mention zinc content.
If you do the occasional track day, top it up about half a litre over the top mark before you get on track, to combat pressure loss under hard braking and/or turning.
