    Oil is 20W-50 in the book for a VS I believe. But I used 10W-40 Synthetic when my engine was younger and thats fine to use. Just use decent oil changed regularly. Trans fluid I think is Dextron III. For Coolant I use nulon, but just check on the coolant manufacturers websites for which coolants are compatible . And your Gas tank will have a date stamped on it somewhere

    if its not dated on tank then there should be a compliance plate on the front by the bonnet clip, it should have wat date the tank was manufactured, date it was fitted

    4lt here I`ve always put that amount in. Book says 4.3lt with oil filter.
    Mine was always spot on the oil gauge.

    Just remember some had a deep pans so more oil needed.

    Automotive LPG tanks have to be tested and certified every 10 years. If yours was last done in 2007 it's all smiles until 2017.
