Anything from Mobil 1 (or Amsoil) in an xW-40 or xW-50 wt would be preferred for our turbocharged vehicles. (The 50 wts would be my first choice for year-round protection in your area, with 5W-40 dual-rated oil being my next favorite for warmer climates such as yours.)
Coolant choice depends on how often you want to change it. Green stuff should be changed once a year. DexCool should be changed once every two years. G05 coolant (AKA Mercedes coolant) is probably the only stuff you should use for the factory-recommended extended change intervals. Anders (Swedecar) posted an excellent write-up a few years ago in the General BB about all the differences. Oh, & distilled water is only necessary for batteries.
