    If you were using xw50 oil, then go to a xw30 oil. I think you might run into some leaking issue. I suggest go for a 10w40 semi synth. Shell helix hx7 i think is 300 per liter. You only need 4 liters. Havoline from caltex stations might be cheaper.

    Any dot4 brake fluid. This is for your clutch also for the manual transmission.

    Manual transmission oil will ask for API-GL4/5 75w90
    Shell or Castrol should have these.

    If automatic... dexron3 is the standard for the older transmissions. Shell Castrol

    Also do a carburetor cleaning...
    check sparkplugs...
    clean air filters...
    Check brake pads and drum brakes..

    Lots of shops can do all of these under 3 hrs.

    brake fluid, any dot 3 would do, may schedule replacement duration naman yan
