I use Prestone CoolantValvoline Syntec Oil (5W-30)Penzoil Syncomesh transmission Fluid (75W-90)Valvoline (80W-90) gear oil for the rear diff

That should start you off. For everything else there's a search button on the top right of this forum.

Not to be mean but is this the first car you have ever owned??

The drain plug is on the bottom of the transmission in the middle and the rear diff drain plug is on the back at the bottom. The fill hole for the transmission is on the driver's side of the transmission (fill until fluid comes out of the side then cap it off. Same with the diff.
