Id like some help on getting the right fluids for my first service interval on the car.

im sure that the variable valve lift and timing system works. it definitely makes more power then any 4 cylinder vehicle ive ever owned, and it moves quite well. ill give it a good looking over once i get it to make sure there arent any bad rust areas.

so ive already driven the car roughly 300 miles, but i had to leave it at the car lot because the deal at the bank had to be reorganized. i like the car and want to seal the deal, but i need to know what to look for when i get it and start putting the miles on it. it currently sits at a tad over 222...
