If you're going to stick with dino oil, then Delo 400 or Shell Rotella are highly rated. Unfortunately all of our favorites that used to be high in zinc are now CJ4 rated and so not nearly so stellar.

ATF for the trans, but I put Amsoil MTF in mine, as well as marine diesel 15-40 for motor oil. But then I only use Amsoil products for all 9 of my vehiculars - 3 cars, a truck, an RV, and 4 motorcyles.

PS is also ATF. At least change the filter and the fluid.

Best bet is to at least put something new in everything as a minimum. The rest is gravy. Don't forget to flush the brakes and clutch hydraulics - Dot4.
