that really depends on what you like really but coolant i recommend a flush before you fill in some new one ... it's always good to do that, there are some better coolant then standard green ones, mine's pink colour which i can't remember the brand etc, i'm sure someone will know what i'm on about

engine oil, most people will go for MOTUL which is what i use to use and it's not bad, i use mobile 1 full syn now, it's good cause it actually reduce my tappet noise + same performance as MOTUL so i that's what i've been using ever since

same rating oil?? both those oils are good.. I have tried the MOTUL oil in my change last week..lol after like 3,000km just cos i wanted to try some stuff out. seems to be the same as the last oil i had..make sure u use Full Sync...and get 5W-30 to get great viscosity at start and at running temps...u might be temped to go higher but I wouldn't...the car revs to 8k...its not a ford and needs higher visc. oil.
