I won't 'recommend' anything in particular but here's what I use:

Engine: 20/50 conventional (non-synthetic) engine oil, any brand, most of the time. In winter, if temps get near freezing, I switch to 10/40.

Transmission: any brand Dexron III automatic transmission fluid, non-synthetic.

Brakes: any brand DOT4 brake fluid.

Differential: any brand 80/90w gear oil, non-synthetic, GL4 or GL5 specification

Others have their own specific preferences and will chime in.

Cheers
DD
