Searching the forums for antifreeze and engine coolant hasn't found any topics. I was trying to find out what the suggested coolant would be and how much or do I just fill it up to the top? Also what would you suggest the best engine oil to use? The Book of Information says 5 quarts of a medium grade oil. Sorry for the elementary questions but this is the first antique car I've ever owned and I really don't want to screw this up, lol. Thanks for any info!

I use a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and fill it about 1 inch
from the top of the radiator
I use a straight 30 wt non detergent oil I hope this helps
