Default Rountine maint. questions??

2002 Z06...
How much oil does it take?
What oil filter are people running?
What trans fluid and how much (quantity)?
What rear end fluid and how much(quantity)?
What plugs and wires are people using?
...and one last one...does anybody else have pads that sound like a New York city bus ONLY under light breaking?? Cause mine are horrible and Ive tried brake cleaner and that hasn't helped. There is still plenty of pad left but I cant stand sounding like a bus every time i use the breaks lightly.
Thanks guys
:cheers:

What rear end fluid and how much(quantity)?
What plugs and wires are people using?Just switched to NGK TR55/MSD Wires
