Here we go mate,

Engine. 15 W 40 Mineral for the 2.5. Dont bother with semi or full synthetic as the 4D56T wasnt designed for it.

Front Diff. EP 80W

Rear Diff. EP 80W unless it is LSD (Denoted by red sticker in drivers door jam) If it is LSD, then use specific LSD suitable oil.

Manual Gearbox. 75/W90 Semi synthetic

Auto Box. Dexron 11
PAS. Dexron 11

Brake Fluid. DOT 3/4

Transfer Box. EP80W

Thats about it.
