The lubricants table lists 0.7 to 0.8 US qt of FMVSS 116 DOT-3 or DOT-4.
Brake discs and pads are an I in every column of the non-turbo schedule.
No caliper-bolt torque was printed. Do not invent one to finish the job.
No pad thickness and no caliper-bolt torque are printed, so none are added. The cabin filter is a different job.
