Hi Guys and gals

I have upgraded my intercooler radiator quite an easy change except for the oil cooler securing nuts rusted on, why do you always ge one B..tard bolt you have to cut off...
Any way my car runs Orange antifreeze The specification is WSS-M97B44-D Is this the same as the red antifreeze with the same spec.
I just dont want to risk mixing them until i know. I have gone to 3 or 4 car shops and none of them have orange, only lots of other colours.

Thanks for the help

It's the long life specification number that counts. Colour variation will be different manufacturers.

Cost from the (UK) Jaguar Dealer is £26.65 for 5 litres if you don't want to take any risks.

Motorcraft has an orange if you look at that spec and Pentosin I believe a German company has a pinkish color but is listed as approved for Jaguars on their spec sheet if that helps.

 

This coolant spec is a Ford number, just get it from a Ford dealer. The coolant should be orange as this is the color of OAT (Organic Acid Technlogy) antifreeze. The engine gaskets and fittings are designed to use this technology, don't stray from it. The brand name in the US is Dex-Cool.

 

Thanks guys
I shall follow up this weekend and finish the fitting of the up grade intercooler rad ready for the smaller pulley :-)
