Default Fluid Change

Hey all,

I just wanted to run this by the tech savvy on here to make sure I got everything correct.

I just placed an order for the following:

Motul 600 -4 bottles (for brakes and clutch)
Amsoil Syn 5w30 - 1 case
Amsoil Severe Gear 75w90- 6qts
Amsoil Synthetic Universal ATF- 1 case- (manual trans, '99 FRC)
WIX Oil Filter
WIX Fuel Filter

Since I just bought the car, I'm having all the fluids replaced and all the filters replaced. Did I miss anything? Are my quantities enough for a full flush (esp w/ the brake/clutch fluid)? Is there anything else I should have done for peace of mind?

Thanks for all the help in the past and the future, this forum RAWKS!,
George

Looks good but why 6 qts of gear oil? Rear end takes 2.

I bought it by the half case. Amsoil preferred membership, it was just cheaper.

Fluids are correct product and you have enough, though you'll have extra tranny fluid and diff fluid, which is fine. I have a garage full.

I've drained and refilled, then bled my brakes with 2 bottles of brake fluid, so you should be fine with four, even if you refill the clutch as well.

Having the shop use whatever coolant they use, same with power steering fluid.
