Deffo ATF+4 for the gearbox and also the power steering, DOT 3 for breaks, 10w40 is recommended in my manual for engine oil in my 2002 2.5CRD. coolant needs to be HOAT and you will find that on amazon by Comma. hope that helps http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0048778U6/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2HNKJF2IJQQR2&coliid=I1ZLFR8014Z76S

I haven't done my fuel filter yet (only had my voyager a year) but from what I hear it is a relatively easy job to do.

As for the Gearbox and power steering fluid being the same ATF+4, this is because of the yellow metals inside the gearbox etc and using other oils can cause major damage as it starts to corrode.

5w30 oil is ok but is more for colder climates where temps fall consistently below -10 Celsius and summer temps don't get very high, it is a Thinner oil so if used in hot temps it can prevent a good seal around moving parts. 

here for UK I stick to 10w40 synthetic oil as recommended, it covers temps to -10 which doesn't happen here in the midlands :) and gives a better layer of lubrication as the temp goes up but yes you will hear many other people advise otherwise haha
