1. Transmission oil (Auto/manual)
2. Brake fluid
3. Engine oil
4. Engine oil filter
5. Engine coolant fluid
6. Power steering fluid

What are the best aftermarket brands/products that you guys would recommend?


Don't sweat the non helpful responses bro. If the post is repetitive and does not interest me, I'd keep it to myself. No sense putting the op down. The whole idea for this forum is to to have fun and share right.

For me, it's redline or amsoil. Just like what mbmike said. Amsoil has an excellent filter. Check both out. Don't worry too much about Engine Coolant or the PS fluid. Go with what the manual recommends. No sense spending extra on that. Diff story for the vq though. It makes sense to put quality motor oil.

Fair enough.

I use Mobil 1 for engine and plan on changing just about everything else to Redline or Motul. Oh and I use premium gas (93 octane here in TX).
