Default 09 XKR— what oil is best considering the situation?

Default Hello everyone.I became a member several years ago but I never posted anything. However I do find this site extremely informative. This is always the site I go too when I have a question and I usually browse to find the answer.
My name is Uli and I currently own a 2009 Jag XKR that I bought back in 2012 from a Las Vegas jag dealer. I currently live in Studio city California.

I’ve owned 5 jags in total and I currently own 1. =89 xkr rouge—-04 xType—98 xj8–02 xkr—-09 xkr.

So I’ve done a lot of preventative maintenance on this car and I currently have about 188,000 miles and I’ve notice that it burns about a quart of oil every 1500 miles or so. The jag does not leak oil.
Its time for an oil change and I’m wondering what oil grade is best considering the current mileage and the fact that it burns oil.

I normally use Castrol edge high mileage full synthetic oil 10w-30. I was thinking about using a thicker oil ? The owners manual recommends castrol 10w-30 synthetic. Any thoughts anyone?
I also want to ‘top off’ the power steering fluid but I’m not sure what to buy. Owners manual says ‘dexron lll’.‘ I believe dexron lll is transmission fluid’ I went to a local shop and they sell dexron Iv. The clerk asked me if I wanted synthetic. I was not sure what to purchase. Any thoughts on what brand to buy for the power steering fluid?
Thank you all in advance.
