Where the heck is the air filter located? Which types of fluid are acceptable to put into my vehicle? Engine oil, brake fluid, window washer fluid, transmission oil, and any other kind.

There are two air filters, one on each side of the engine, they are the square boxes that look identical at the very front, be very careful when you remove the lid that you don't break the intake hoses. The transmission takes Dexron III, the hydraulic reservoir for the power steering and suspension only takes CHF 7.1 just like the lid says, that oil is only available at your local European parts store or the dealer. The engine oil is up to you, what kind, . But considering the miles I would run a 10W-40, if it does not use any oil in between oil changes I would suggest running 10W-30, a synthetic engine oil would be nice if you can afford it. On the fluid you can use either Dot-3 or Dot-4, do not mix the brake fluid with synthetic brake fluid. Make sure you buy regular brake fluid.
