The diff takes castrol limited slip oil:

For the gearbox jaguar apparently recommend ATF even though it is a manual box.
The engine, any good make of 5W 30 or 40 fully synthetic oil. But there is more about this on the forum that any other topic! We all have our favourites!

A good friction modifier will do wonders for the engine to, look into Archoil 9100 or 9200 or LiquiMoly CeraTec.
