Holden Zafira 2003: What are the best oils and fluids to use?

Answered by Graham Smith · 24 May 2019

The engine oil should be a 10W-40, the auto transmission fluid and power steering fluid should be from a quality brand, and the brake fluid should be a DOT 4 spec. Go to an automotive supplies shop and they should be able to advise you.
