Default Fluids

Can i use autozones or walmarts power steering, brake, and coolant from there?

If so whats the best ones i can use?

If not where can i buy besides the dealership?

Is it okay to use Lucas for all of these?

Thanks in advance for a quick response and for the help. All my levels are right at the low level signs.

I wouldn't use anything in walmarts auto department......
The power steering fluid in our cars is a mineral based fluid so its unique in that, so there isn't going cheap there, but the stuff from either VW or audi, they use the same stuff.
The coolant is G12, it isn't interchangeable of any other coolant, regardless of what prestone says, it will gel up on you if you mix it.
Brake fluid is brake fluid, just make sure not to use DOT 5, and read your manual for which DOT is used in your car, i believe its DOT 4.

I buy fluids from www.ecstuning.com for cheaper than the dealer sells it.
