Viper fluids (all)

[Viper44]

I've done some searches on this but didn't really come up with anything set in stone or even close. I'm looking into changing all of the fluids in the car and would like to know what the better fluids are to use in it. (Brands and specs) I'm not sure if there are specific fluids that need to be used for the Viper either. The car is a 96 GTS. The fluids I'm looking into are listed below. Thanks for all of your help with this.

engine oil
anti freeze
brake fluid
clutch fluid
power steering fluid
transmission fluid
diff fluid

Apparently you haven't seen my sheet - it is the seminal list of fluids

You can really open a "can of worms" with that question. If you do a bit of searching, you will find a lot of different opinions on all the fliuds in question. Of course you can't go wrong with factory fluids especially if you are only streeting the Viper. If you are going to the sprip or the track, you will have different requirements from your fluids. Have fun.

Don't forget the Blinker Fluid. If the little indicators in your headlights are yellow, then it needs to be flushed.

To all, thanks for the replies. No I didn't come across that link, I'll have to check it out. As for opening a can of worms that is almost what I found when I did a search. There are no set fluids that people agree on. Almost everyone has a different one they use. The head light oil, funny I already bought a K&N Gold oil filer. I've been running Castrol oil in all of my cars ever since I've been driving so I'm thinking about using their full synthetic oil. As for the brake fluid the pervious owner has some blue stuff in the car now but I'm probably going to replace it with some stuff from a local auto store. (what ever DOT rating the manual says) I need to check to see if there is any special anti freeze the car requires. I will probably put some synthetic oil in the tranny. The diff I don't know yet. As for the power steering, I have totally no idea, I don't even know how to change that one. Thanks again.
