Prior to asking questions I do my research.. for those who prefer to direct me to the manuals, which takes more effort than answering a question,
here are a couple of past reviews of the manuals. I do appreciate they are available but sometimes uninformative. thanks to all for the help I get on the forums.

the manuals were written in Italian and translated to English (probably by the lowest bidder) and are designed for technicians and mechanics so not everything is going to make the most sense to somebody who doesn't have a background in this kind of work.

be glad there's even a manual at all and that it's correct for the most part.

I don't have a GT200. I do know that I've found specifications like torque values and fluid specs in the workshop manual for my previous GTS300 in the past when I either couldn't find my owner's manual or it wasn't in there.

Here's the page for fluids for the GT200. Generally, synth oil is preferred for everything after the break-in service, to my understanding.
