dude if u think motor oil goes in any place under the hood that has a cap with writing on it then you definitely have no place under a hood or even nowhere near a car ...

there were no "IROC SS's" btw
but if this is serious, go to the store and buy the appropriate fluids for, wherever you poured, whatever into. it sounds like you need trans fluid, motor oil, and brake fluid.

Take it somewhere to get serviced. You apparently don't know what you're doing...
There are synthetic types of fluids but they're not universal. They're specific to a certain thing on the car. Go drain your brakes right now if you put motor oil in it. Along with power steering and trans if you put it there and anywhere else you may have put it, then go back to the store and buy the appropriate fluids (I.e. Trans fluid, motor oil, brake fluid, etc.). Just because it says synthetic doesn't mean it goes in every fluid resivor...

No that "New synthetic stuff" goes in the motor,trans,diff,master cylinder. I mean if its good for NASCAR who are you to say its not good for your WS6. Your motor should hold about 8Qts or so, so keep a poorin. And dont forget with high performance cars like yours your gonna need to replace the flux capacitor every time you top off your blinker fluid. But if you just bring the helpful folks at Autozone an exhaust sample they should be able to help you out. Good luck man I hope this brings it all back for you ya big gear head you.

Go ahead and drain all your fluids and drive the car to Autozone. Make sure to take the route with the most hills and steep drop offs on both sides to make sure everything will run right without the fluids.
