There are only three - four, if your windshield washer still works.
First is engine oil. There are a lot of good oils out there, but I have always had good results from "straight-30-weight" Shell Rotella diesel engine oil. This oil is made for two-stroke Detroit Diesel engines, which get very hot in operation. The engines in our cars also get very hot in operation, so this oil is perfect. Don't go to a truck stop to get it; new trucks all use 15W40 oil, and that's not what you want. Farm supply stores have this, and I've seen it at Walmart.
Next is transmission oil. Use 80W90 hypoid gear oil in a Volkswagen. Do NOT put motor oil, automatic Transmission Fluid, or any of the other fluids you might see specified for a modern transmission in a VW transmission.
Third is brake fluid. You can choose from DOT 3, DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 fluids. There is also a DOT 5 fluid you'll see every once in a while; this is a silicone brake fluid. It was invented by the Army because they wanted something that won't absorb water. They did a good job at that. Problem with it is, it won't mix with regular brake fluid, so don't get that. DOT 3, 4 and 5.1 are all glycol based, and will intermix readily.
The fourth is one you probably don't need...some Bugs still have windshield washers that work, so you might need windshield washer fluid. If you've got the tank and good sprayers (or can buy a set of sprayers from aircooled.net or somewhere), you can get washer pumps at auto parts stores for real cheap. Hook one of those up with some wire and hose, and use a push button switch to make it work. That would be cool, and easy to do.
