    It's probably just me, but I'm having problems finding good answers tonight.

    Antifreeze/coolant -- Am i correct that this can pretty much be anything as long as it's silicate free?

    Transmission oil -- What is recommended for this?

    I have a 2002 model.

    Thanks in advance.

    Depending on your climate, more or less a 50/50 mix is about the norm, unless you go with something like Water Wetter or Engine Ice. Just follow what the manual suggest to stay away from.

    Since the transmission uses the same oil as your motor, what you use will affect both. Typical is whatever oil is safe for the motor/clutch again, follow the manual as it gives the oil spec.

    As for what I use, I use Engine Ice for coolant and Rotella T6 5W40 (6 gen) or Motul 300V 10W40 (5Gen). Although I have used the Rotella in both, this last oil change I was going to try the Motul.
