I have a MY99 UK turbo.
I use Mobil 1 motorsport 15w50 engine oil and castrol syntrax in the gearbox and rear diff.
As for the antifreeze, yes, any antifreeze should be ok.

5-40 Motul 300V would be my first choice.

Gearbox, Castrol.

The trick is , buy an old car, don't bother servicing it and sell it after a year.
Just pray it doesn't blow up !!

Or, use fully synthetic 5w40, such as Silkolene or Motul.
