Look for the specs on the starboard side of the motor. As for the oil and fluid, I am not going to get that started again, lol. I use a straight 30 weight

Rpms at WOT should be between 4200-4600, 4600 being max, power steering fluid, I use Quicksilver fluid timing as been revised to 4 degrees BTDC at idle can't remember the MERC TSB but what is ever on the valve cover label is now wrong for timing.
