5 quarts of Mobil 1 is $26 at Walmart, so that's always my choice. High quality, low price.

For clutch/brake fluid, I use Motul RBF600. It's cheaper online, but you can find it at Wood's Fun Center on I-35 just north of Braker on the frontage road northbound. Call first, though. They usually have at least one 500 mL bottle, but I sometimes need two or three (one for clutch, two for brake, three for both).

As for gear oil, I highly recommend Redline. I usually just order it from Amazon or a forum sponsor. But I have found a place in town that can get it for you next day usually. They're called Motormania and located on 620 a little south of Anderson Mill Lane. I assume this is for MT. I cannot do AT fluid change.
Thank you for the offer JARblue I might have to take you up on that offer at somepoint soon. I have some tools at home but I am not really use to this car just yet. As far as my manual transmission oil sure Ill get redline I care what I use but if its good for you as I have seen you on some posts about fluids its good for me Do you have the link to the forum sponsor for redline for our cars. The weight we need is 75w-85 I think I am going to give Motormania a call for it. Ordered the motul oil from amazon already.
