You cant get much better than the 2 below for engine oil.

For oil top-ups, I use Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 10W-50, but as QBee says if you ask 10 Chimaera owners what oil they use you'll get at least 11 different answers!

For power steering fluid, I use Halfords "Advanced" transmission and power steering fluid.

I've never needed to top up brake or clutch fluid.

For coolant, buy a decent fluid that matches the colour of the coolant that's already in the car. I believe if you mix red/orange coolant with blue/green coolant then you can get sludge forming as the two react with each other.
