Fluids for GM 6.2L swap?

[Jdog]

Hey folks, I have a crate GM 6.2L going in my 62 and wondered what fluids folks use?

Should I use dexos coolant like my GM pickups or can I use anything?

What about PS fluid? GM or Toyota?

TIA!!!

You can use any coolant, we use Toyota red in everything in my shop just because we actually get it more cost effectively then any other coolant concentrate.

Any ATF is fine for PS.

Well if the crate motor needs to be broken in I would use breakin specific oil and run the engine in a way that it's broken in properly. I have my own method I use for doing this, from research I've done. Should be info you can read up on for doing so. For coolant I like the toyota pink coolant.

If it is a new GM crate engine, the paperwork will show a list of approved motor oils and USE THEM and save the receipt. If the motor has issues, the first thing GM will ask for is an oil sample and the oil used.
