You typically just pick it up from a local distibutor vs ordering on the web... they're everywhere. https://www.amsoil.com/dealerlocatorresults/

I use Amsoil Synthetic ATF in my transmission, but other brand stuff (Redline LSD, Mobil One oil, etc) elsewhere in the car.

I believe you have it all covered Unless you want to order Amsoil lithium grease for the door hinges lol..

Make sure you purchase Amsoil universal ATF pictured below. As far as brake fluid goes, Motul is very good as well.

For brake fluid, I'd actually go with ATE Superblue, but the rest of them you can go Amsoil with. For power steering, Amsoil ATF will work perfectly, but I like Mobil 1 ATF.
