Next question - fluids (all of them)

I have no idea what fluids were in my car when I bought it, so I'd like to change all of them and put the right stuff in. Thus, the question is, what fluids? I know this has probably been asked before, and if there is a FAQ on it, please point me in the right direction. If not, maybe we could get a comprehensive list of all fluids on this thread.

I've got:

Mobil1 15w-50 full synthetic in the engine.
4oz of Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas tank.
Castrol DEXRON III ATF in my automatic transmission and power steering.

I don't know what's in my diff. or brakes.

Use the factory stated weights in your tranny and diff, but use only synthetic. I run Mobil1 10w-30 in my engine.

I went to Mazdatrix for my 60k service ($400+)
They have a list of everything they flush and replace. All i remember off the top of my head is that they use full synthetic in everything other than motor oil. It's on my receipt, so i can check when i go home, but here's their ph# if u want to just call and ask 562-426-7960
I'll post what they do if nobody else beats me to it.
BTW, i like how they have a preset list of things to change, unlike XS eng. who just gave me the "well, it really DEPENDS on what's needed... it's $xxx to check this... $xx to check this, and then we can talk about what you want done..." b.s.
