Hi
The forum is full of informations.
You must read a lot to understand all the things that you must do to your car to keep her in good shape.
Oil 5w30 Castrol for cold region. I use 5w40 but i leave near to the sea in Romania. I put inside BMW oil because is Castrol. Jaguar recomand castrol oil for X308 V8 engine.
Coolant Type G12 red.
Good luck

Look to the Handbook Download in the stickies: you should be able to download and print. There are also any eBay manuals for sale.
