you can use any non leaded gas that is atleast 87oct and for oil 5W 30 or 5W40 (5W 30 is year round and the 40 is if you want something that is a little better in the warm weather, it is not necessary to use it though)

Thank you guys! How about the transmission fluid? Previous owner told me it is a sealed transmission and no transmission flush is needed, was that true? mine is a GT model, i searched edmunds and kbb, did not find this model, do you guy have any idea which model this is most closed to, GL GLS?
