Since I am in the UK I can only point you to coolant that I have used since it first came out and that is "engine ice" used it in the tropics and in the cold worked well.
Oil I am sure the guys back home will tell you what they swear by or swear at in the way of oil & and brake fluid.
ONE big NO NO is car oils with addatives that screw out clutch corks .

I use all the basic oils and coolents out there. I use a reg. all purpose (for cars too) antifreeze, DOT 3 brake fluid (yes, same for cars as well), and motorcycle ooil found at any parts store. Sure you can use a fancy version of all of this, but the only thing fancey I would get would be different motor oil if I had a newer bike.
