the answer would be yes but your oem fluid still need to be changed because they too, absorb water in the air. i flush my every year.

That is, what transmission fluid is best?
-i used GMSMFM before, its good, but breaks down easy. i use the new formula honda MTF now.
What brake fluid should we use?
-any dot 3 is fine.
What spark plugs should I use?
-RTFM (jk) the denso platinium or NGK iridium are the OE replacements. I go with NGK coppers for my car, but im different like that.
What clutch, brake, differential fluid, etc.???????
-Clutch, any dot 3, just buy a big jug from part 2
- diff i use moblie 1 75w-90 gear oil.

dot 3 or 4, dont use dot5
iridium is a hit or miss, some owner reported poor gasmileage and 99 percents owner felt nothing in term of performance.
i wouldn't use copper plug myself(unless you are doing FI with colder range), the platinum plug last 105k which is only slightly more than copper plug if you throw those away at 30k.
