I just did my oil, tranny and differential. I used all red line fluids. But the differential takes about 1&1/2 quarts so buy 2 and the tranny took 3 quarts. As far as the brakes and power steering I couldn't tell you. You'll be very happy you did your diff. after seeing all the gunk that's on the plug and in the fluid.

Fluid capacities are in the Owner's Manual and/or FSM.

Differential doesn't really need changing unless your drive the car hard or track it. I"m just doing all my fluids with better fluids, I'm using motul for everything.

My diff fluid was nasty as hell with only 15k miles on it. It's too cheap and easy not to change.

Redline makes better ps fluid. Use motul or something instead of OEM brake fluid.
