Here's what I would do with your car. Flush the transmission (see FAQs) and replace with synthetic ATF. Flush the brake system - throrough bleed until all old brake fluid is out. Replace with high quality DOT 4, not Dot 3, not DOT 5.

Get a Mann or equivalent oil filter, and change to Mobil-1 or equivalent pure synthetic, not a blend. Be ready to change again in 3000 to 4000 miles as the oil will pick up a lot of old varnish and stuff that the dino oil left behind.

After that change, set up to change oil every 8000 to 10000 miles, and every 4000 to 5000 miles change the filter and add a quart.

Good Luck,

Bob
