Re: quick question about tune up
Get one whole jug of coolant non deluted. I use peak antifreeze, I like it alot. Then whatever is not filled up put water in it. The transmission part, make sure you do not overtighten the bolts on the transmission or you wil leak. I am a veteran at that. lol

ATF transmission is fine if you have a auto tranny. IDk if its same for a manual.

Rear axle oil i use 75w-90

What year is your car?

What engine do you have? V6? V8? TBI? Carb?

What transmission do you have?

Dropping the transmission pan and changing the filter will require 5 quarts to replace. However, the transmission contains a total of 12 quarts - see http://www.amsoil.com/faqs/ATF_and_F...Procedures.pdf (particularly Step 13) for how to replace it all.

The differential holds 3.6 pints.

The cooling system holds 17 quarts if you have AC. A 50/50 mix will require slightly more than a gallon of antifreeze, but a gallon will get you close.
