Default Recommended Fluids

I am a new owner of a 2001 Jaguar XKR and was wondering what other members use for various engine fluids. I have read the drivers manual and searched the forum for recommendations. The drivers manual suggests the following fluids:

Engine coolant: Motorcraft Speciality Orange Engine Coolant meeting Ford Material Specification WSS-M97b44-D. Is this only available at Jaguar Dealers. I have found the Prestone Brand Extended Life meets this specification but am hesitate to use it.
Engine Oil: 5W30, what brand is mostly used by the users?
Brake Fluid: Jaguar ITT Automotive Super DOT 4. I have been unable to locate a Super Dot 4, only Dot 3.
Power Steering Fluid: DEXRON III. unable to locate.
Windshield Wiper Refills: 21" what brand is used?
Windscreen Washer Fluid:What brand name?

I would appreciate hearing from other members what fluids they use and have found success with.
