Default Car Oils

Hey guys
Since I have agreed to join the convoy of v6 STIs at Kyms wedding.
I thought I should do a flush of every oil possible on my car.
I have done the usual search, but it comes up with mixed opinions to some oils.
Would be great if you guys put up the oils your using to ease my decision making.
Heres a quick copy paste format if your lazy and the oils I was thinkng of using:
Engine - Penrite HPR5
Gearbox - Redline Manual Transmission Oil MT-90
Diff - Dont know yet
Coolant - Either OEM or Redline Water Wetter - Single 12oz
Power Steering - OEM
Brake - Castrol Super dot 4
If I missed anything that should and can be flushed let me know
Cheers
Hai

castrol syntrax 75w90 for the gearbox works a treat, smuf snot tends to gum up if mixed with other oils so unless you are stripping the gearbox and draining every bit of the current oil out i'd go with the syntrax
