6 qts 10w30 or 10w40 Oil with new filter (who doesn't change the filter

)

Coolant, I just use 50/50 untill it is full

I will have to look for the rest...

the coolant is 1 gallon of water to one gallon of antifreeze. that is a 50 50 mix but i would rather add my own distilled water.

yeah i mix my own since it costs the same and you get twice as much better bargain if you ask me pre mix is good to keep with you for emergencies

I add on gallon of anti-freeze, one gallon of tap water, and then top off with pre-mix as I don't want to guess about the mixture it takes to bring it up to full. This is of course with an empty cooling system. I suppose I could keep an old container and make my own 50/50, but I'm lazy.
