it's dot 3 brake fluid as well
brake fluid = hydraulic fluid = clutch master fluid , the DOT rating is how much heat it can take before it cooks itself.

Yep. Dielectric grease for the rubber moldings. Also make sure you put some in the runner up front (black triangle piece) It will really help with the speed of the windows and help you window motors last.

I just use spray silicone or the greasy rag I used to detail my dash about every 2-3 washes(when I wax/detail). dielectric is good lube cause youd only have to use it 1-2 times a year or so, but is messy and takes a little more attention to detail than I'd like to spend.
if it's orange it's dex-cool, it's a type of coolant not a certain brand.

Doensn't it get all over the glass?

What do you recommend to clean the engine that will not mess it up and it looks like it has been done professionally? What about a blue stain in the leather seats that mcguires leather cleaner will not take out?
