Subject: Maintenance of '88 McLaren

Body:

I recently bought an '88 with just about 40500 miles on it. Number 1217. I did not get an owners manual, nor any service records.

I intend to have the radiator flushed and antifreeze replaced: What kind of antifreeze is preferred/best?

Will get the transmission fluid and filter changed; Any best trans fluid?

Should the differential oil be changed? Weight?

Any other things to which I should pay particular attention? Of course I'll check the PS, PB, belts; etc.

Last owner said he used Havoline oil; What is preferred weight? Filter.?

I am not asking for long detailed information, unless you have the time, but need the basics to keep this rascal running as well as it looks.

Thanks for any help
