Default Just bought a used 2002 XKR -- where to I buy engine oil, other fluids?

Hey y'all, I just bought my first Jaguar -- a used 2002 XKR convertible, supercharged. I love it. I wanted to store up on some fluids just in case and I had a hard time finding where to buy them. I found engine coolant, but I can't find the other fluids in the manual. Here's what I'm looking for:

1. Engine Oil: The manual says "API SJ / EC and ILSAC GF-2... 5W/30"... The manual also says "The supercharger (where fitted) is oil filled-for-life -- does that many I'll never need this?
2. Brake Fluid: The manual says "JAGUAR ITT SUPER DOT 4"
3. Power Steering: The manual says "DEXRON III" -- I think I found this one on Amazon
4. Windscreen Washer: The manual says "Jaguar Windscreen Washer Fluid"

Anyone have any links on where to buy these?
Thanks.

Your local cars parts store, Costco or Walmart has all sorts of 5W30 API SJ oil. Choose your favourite brand. Any DOT 4 brake fluid meets or exceeds Jag's spec- it has to, by law.

Dexron III is a GM trademark, available everywhere.

Jaguar W/S washer fluid???

Oil specs have progressed since the SJ spec. You may now find SL, SM and SN grades. Those are all completely compatible with the older SJ spec.

The original poster should not confuse motor oil and supercharger oil. Motor oil must be changed every 5-10,000 miles.

Supercharger oil was claimed to be for life, but experience has shown that 60K miles changes will help prolong the life of the supercharger. Compatible Eaton supercharger oil is availabile from General Motors dealers.
