According to the manual!!!
Oil should be Mobil 1 0w40,
Coolant should be Mobil Universal antifreeze
P/W Steering fluid should be Mobil ATF 220

I have had no problems getting 0W40 oil from a Halfords superstore, but cannot find/buy the others. Where can I get these from? or do people use other makes? (Please don't start another thread on the topic of what oil to use , more concerned with the other two))
All suggestions / advice welcome..The bloody oil was expensive as well, where is cheap place to buy 0w40?

Halfwits will probably have the oil.

Any universal antifreeze should do - it's universal after all.

I would think that any decent ATF will be good for the power steering.

On the basis that you don't want another "what oil should I use" I assume you are aware of the views of just about every owner on here, so why ask? Regards the other two I cannot for one minute imagine it makes the slightest scrap of difference what anti-freeze you use, as power steering fluid surely same goes for that? Rich...

Mmmm… Mobil Universal Anti-freeze – Nobody sells it, not sure it even exists - was in same position as yourself when I got my Tuscan and only wanted to put in what it said in the manual. Called the Mobil help line and they didn't even know they made it let alone where you could buy it – Dealer told me just to put in any quality anti-freeze. Haven’t had to top up power steering yet but I imagine any quality make would be OK.
