Default Fluids Needed

I have purchased a used 2005 Vanden Plas and am researching the fluid types and quantities to use. Is the below information correct?

2005 Jaguar Vanden Plas with 4.2L V8 - Naturally Aspirated
  • Engine Oil for X350 4.2L Naturally Aspirated Engine: 5x30 Mobile 1 European Car Formula 6.3 qt
  • Transmission Fluid for ZF 6HP26 : Lifeguard 6 , (Ford Motorcraft Mercon SP and Shell Spirax S4 ATF MSP are identical to Lifeguard 6). For drain and fill, you need 5.5 liters / 5.8 quarts. For complete flush, you need 9.5 liters / 10 quarts.
  • Brake Fluid: Shell DOT4 ESL or a low viscosity DOT4 brake fluid that meets ISO 4925 class 6 requirements.
  • Power Steering Fluid: DEXRON III.
  • Antifreeze: DexCool
