Im looking for coolant to top off 2016 ftype v6
So ive been trying to find wss m97b44 spec for MY16
To top off But that has been discontinued. I was able to find a few JLM20973 online the retailer did mention its orange but i‘m not sure is it speced for wssm97b44. Thank you for the help. Been searching online but wasnt able to pull any threads that mention wssm97b44 orange to the yellow lime green. I’ve even went to jag dealer but its yellow lime green.

Specification is the critical factor. The current JLR specification for all models is STJLR.651.5003.and several coolant manufacturers offer products that meet this specification.
When OAT coolant was introduced, it was instantly recogniseable by being orange. Some brands then went to lime green and the present JLR coolant is violet although alternative coolants meeting the STJLR.651.5003 specification retain one of the earlier colours.

I like the orange, Prestone. The big box store usually has the best price.
Options are "ready to use" 50/50 and 100%, not diluted, if you want/need to adjust the concentrate.
Do not dilute with tap water. Use distilled water. Buy a gallon when you buy 100%.
Caution: coolant is toxic, tastes sweet and animals will drink from spills/puddles.
Extra caution: your Jaguar does not normally "use up" coolant.
If you have to "top-off" frequently, there is a problem that should be addressed before it becomes a BIG problem,
