Best Fluids for the Car
I know this might sound like a really dumb question, but I'd like to buy a backup for all of the fluids in my car.
Transmission, Oil, Coolant, Windshield, etc. etc. fluids.
Windshield wiper stuff is pretty simple, but are there a specific type of fluids that I should be using?
Mainly concerned about:
Transmission fluid
Oil
Coolant
Brake fluid?
But any other thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Don't forget to pick up some Pentosin CHF 7.1 for the power steering fluid.
If you use ATF in your power steering fluid, the Audi gnomes will deflate your tires while you are asleep.
