It all depends on what you want to spend. If you want the best (most money), get Amsoil for the motor and the gears, and throw some Motul in the hydraulic lines.

Get NGK plugs and wires...they're that good. Platinum if you want, but copper is all you need.

Gears: Amsoil Series 2000 75W90 gear lube
Motor: Amsoil 5W30 full synthetic
Brake Fluid: Motul non-race fluid...make sure it's DOT 3, 4 or 5.1...not 5
Power Steering Fluid: Amsoil ATF DEXRON III
Coolant: Dunno...Prestone works just fine...buy distilled water to mix

OK, now it's time for you to do a little searching on your own bro. I just told you what I would buy (well, actually, I'd just get Valvoline brake fluid...or Castrol GTLMA if you can find it). And any brand of ATF will be fine for the steering too. I have Mobil 1 ATF in mine.
