Seems like you've got most of it covered. Just a word on brake fluids: When I asked my local Volvo dealer for DOT 4 brake fluid for my 1987 240 a month back, they said; "we only sell DOT 4+ these days". I accepted, assuming they knew their stuff (yeah, I know!). I did a web search before I put it in the car though, and found this:

"In so many words, DOT 5.1 fluids are simply DOT 4-type fluids which meet DOT 5 performance requirements. Because of this, they typically can be mixed with DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluids without concern. In some circles, they are even referred to as ‘DOT 4 Plus’ or ‘Super DOT 4’ fluids because they are more similar to a conventional DOT 4 fluid by chemistry than they are to a conventional DOT 5 fluid."
