Hi Rick,
Both of these options are pretty much up to you, most
folks have their own "traditions" regarding these (and other)
maintenance items. As far as Anti-Freeze is concerned I have been
using the "Fred Thomas" formula.
One bottle of NoRoison
One bottle of Redline Water Wetter
One Gallon of pre-mixed Prestone
Fill with filtered (NOT distilled) water ... lasts for
several years with no problems on both the TR3, and TR6.
Regarding the 5 speed i use the Redline MTL on both cars
... but then I am a Redline fanatic, and use the motor oil in
both cars also. I am sure you will get many opinions, and this is
just mine, and just that ... an opinion ...
GoodLuck
