I have been able to get the brakes working on my '48 3800 and now I am ready to hopefully get her running. My first step is going to be draining and refilling all the fluids. My questions are:

-What type of gear oil is recommended in a 4-speed transmission? the rear end?
-What weight of engine oil?
-What is the capacity of the transmission? rear end? engine? cooling system?

If anyone knows where I can find this information, it would be greatly appreciated.
