OIL:
Any SAE certified 5w30 or 5w40. You'll need 6.5 liters
Brake fluid:
The only difference between DOT3 and DOT4 is the boiling point. I'd use DOT4 - it's what I use in my MB Gelandewagen.
Air filter:
The 'top' air filter is not* removable - it's a charcoal filter. The lower, actual, air filter can be replaced with any that fits: Mahle, Mann, or even a NAPA Gold. I'd stay away from the K&N crap.
