Fluids? and tune ups

Just curious what the original straight 6 use for oil? 10W 30
What kind of coolent?
I've noticed the air filter has oil in it. What kind? If I ever replace can I use dry filter?

Spark plugs. Just try match up what's in there what do all suggest?

Thanks for any tips or advice.

Re: Fluids? and tune ups

10W30 is fine unless it smokes or burns oil. If that's the case use 15W40.
Use a 50-50 solution of the standard type a-freeze.
Use a heavy weight oil in the oil bath air cleaner. Like a straight 30 or 40 weight or 15W40. Use an extended tip spark plug like AC R45S. R44S or R46S can be used.
