My 2004 40th Anniversary Edition #946 is on a truck heading south 
So, I am old school when I get a car first thing I do is service it and change the fluids so I know from that point on when and what was done. I am new to Porsche but a car is a car so upon arrival what do you guys recommend for fluids on a 2004 40th AE? Car has 34k miles on it.
I want to drain and replace fluids and am new to Porsche but have had good luck with Motul as well as Mobil 1 in the past.
brand, spec & p/n if you can:
Oil (Motul 8100 X-Cess 5w40?)
Brake fluid (Motul RBF 600 Synthetic Dot 4?)
Radiator coolant (OEM Porsche "ouch" more expensive than my Merc!)
Steering fluid (?)
M/T fluid (OEM Porsche?)
Also, filters:
Engine (someone said to use the Turbo ones will the fit NA and flows better?)
Oil (worth doin the LN spin on kit?)
Fuel filter ?
Cabin filter ?
Oh, also best place (read cheapest, lol) to order from.
Thanks guys trolling this forum has been great and all the info I derrived helped get me a pretty good deal on a really nice car.

If you're also looking for a good indi, I can recommend one. Near Hooters in Doral if that's convenient for ya. He has done over 10 IMSR R&R's ( including mine) since I met him in Dec 09. very good rates and can also get a good price ( similar to Suncoast) for just about anything Pcar related.
FWIW, I'd also recommend Pentosin fluids for your car.

welcome, congrats.... post some pics... I bet you are having a hard time waiting...
good idea getting a "begining" data point on your fluids. i wont recommend any as we have had enough "oil threads"
lots of people from your area, so they will know where to look/buy from
again, welcome
