Fluids for a 95 e300d

I just pulled the engine from my 1995 E300D and hopefully this weekend I'll start getting the new used engine ready (I'll make another post for that one soon). My questions are what fluids do you guys run in your cars. I had planned on using green coolant as I've read it is ok for our cars. I don't mind changing every couple of years as I tend to over maintain my cars anyway. Also stuff like power steering fluid and brake fluid seem pretty basic, DOT3?? and regular PS fluid?, ok. Last one is trans fluid, should I go with the factory stuff on a 95 or is it not worth it. Unfortunately at this time the only manual I have is the pocket mechanic version which is from England. Same cars but most of the measurements/values are in metric with their english jargon. Thanks for any input, Craig

fluids

NO green coolant, not ever. Use "gold" MB or Zerex 05.

DOT4 brake fluid, MB or Castrol.

Mobil1 Syn power steering fluid, or MB.

Mobil1 Syn trans fluid, or MB.

If you are "overmaintaining" your car, how could quality fluids be "not worth it"???

Of course a 95 E300 is "worth it"!
