Correct "Fluids"

So, in simple terms, I look into the engine bay and see what needs what.
The two cylinders on the left of the fire wall - brake and clutch - what type / code / maker etc. is the best to use for these?
Do you use dot3 brake fluid?
Engine oil would need to be mineral rather than synthetic - sorted that out here - but what is the recommended brand / type / maker? 20w50?
I have the original style oil air filter - what type/ brand / maker is the oil in this?
Thanks, Paul.

Paul, Dot 3 or Dot 4 brake fluid is fine for both the clutch and brake cylinders, use a reputable brand - It will mix with whatever is currently there, but if you are unsure about the age of the current stuff in the system, do a fluid flush. DO NOT USE DOT 5!
20W-50 oil is fine, use a reputable brand.
The oil bath air cleaner uses SAE 90 transmission oil after cleaning old oil out with kerosene.
