Hello!
Before the car comes back on the road in April I am going to get the engine and gear box oil changed.
What fluids would people recommend and also is the oil filter a simple motor factors purchase?
Oh and anything else I should replace as new at the same time?
1995 2.5 24v
Thank you!

Engine oil 5w30 fully synthetic
Gearbox oil GL4 synthetic, and not GL5
Oil filter ( motorcraft FL 822) or bosch P3111
Fuel filter Motorcraft FG 896
Air filter Fram CA7426
Spark plugs AVSP 33C
In others words a fully service

Nice one, thank you! Yep fuel and air filter on the list, plugs done about 3 years ago so all good!
Thank you for the part references

I’ve ordered this, seemed pretty reasonable, £30 for 5L delivered.
