Finishing up my engine rebuild. Looking for suggestions on what fluids to fill her back up with. Car is only a summer car. Royal purple for oil? Or maybe mobile 1? Also lookong for what coolant to run. Any of them better for aluminum parts?
 
Evans waterless coolant is the best you can get as it has basically zero corrosion properties. does not expand and pressurize the cooling system like water and has a boiling point higher than an engine can keep running at. (meaning it will not boil over ever)
They say that even if you get a hole in a hose it only drips because it doesn't expand at temperature like water.
But then at 50 bucks a gallon it should be pretty special.

As far as lubricants goes, there are a shitload of opinions but I believe it really depends on the motor.
 

A modern coolant like G05 will be good of AL parts. The key with AL is to keep it changed out every few years to the keep the anti-corrosion additives fresh.
