Type of oil and Brake pads
Hello!
I have a Jag 2010 XKR with 37 000 Km ~ 23000 miles.
The dealer asks just for pads ~ 700 USD.
The strange part is that the back pads are much expensive than the front pads!
So, I will go for an Independent shop, but I want to be sure about the parts.
1. What type of oil does this car use? What quantity?
2. I've found many options for pads, some marked "not for Sport package" (I suppose is not for R) and I do not know what to choose.
TRW
Metelli
Valeo
ABE
LPR

What type of pad produce lower dust? I hate the dust...

Yeah, you won't find Akebono for the fronts on the 2010+ cars.
EBC, Centric, and TRW are popular ceramic pads.

...Russia? Really? I'm impressed.
Even though I just went though a similar situation, and have a very similar car (2010 XKR with 22,000 miles), my suggestions are based on my experience in Southern California, so probably not of much help (as an example, it's easy to find the recommended Castrol synthetic here).
But I can confirm that I just had my rear pads replaced at similar mileage to you, and when the car was up on the lift we had a good look at all the pads and the fronts still had about 7mm left, but the rears definitely needed replacing. Good luck.

Only two rotors options for our 2010XKR, stock(ATE), and Alcons.
Not sure where the term "Not for sport package" comes to play, but ATE .vs Alcon are easy distinctions in any parts catalog.
Just tossed EBC Yellowstuff on all four corners of my 2010. It was the rears tossing the worn pad error as everyone has discovered. $141 fro the front pair, $100 for the rear. $60 for the pad wear sensor.
These are high grip pads, and pretty dusty (although not as bad as OEM)
Everything else available (Akebono, Centric, and TRW) are just basic run of the mill ceramics, which grip with heavy foot effort, and don't modulate worth a darn, but they are low dust.
If your a spirited driver, Yellowstuff is your only performance choice. Beyond that ceramic is ceramic, and any name on the box will do fine.

Thank you!
I'll try to put ECB Redstuff on front and back.
Front code: DP32076C
Back code: DP32059C
This ECB Redstuff will work with my original rotors? YES?
This is the catalog

Ceramics (including Redstuff) are very easy on any OEM rotor, they are good choice for your needs. Just don't expect them to hold up on a track, as they will fade out quickly.

Ignorant question:
How do you know which caliper you have? In my case, I have a 2010 XK Portfolio so I'm assuming ATE?
also, my driver door placard is missing so I can not check option codes (if it were listed there)
thanks

I hope they have the tool, as it's not only for this car.
I've read the "Electronic Parking Brake calibration" pdf.

I've read that "Jaguar has replaced the 5W-20 with 0W-20".
So... what do I use?

"Use only 5W-20 engine oil, meeting
specification WSS M2C925-A.
Jaguar recommends:
Castrol SLX Professional OE 5W-20.
In an emergency, if the oil of the above
specification is unavailable, the engine can be
topped-up using a maximum of 1 litre (2 US
Pints) of 5W-20 oil meeting specification
ILSACGF-4 API SM."
