Hi All,

i just joined and happy to see the world is still keeping forums alive.

i just bought an old XJR, i will upload the photos later on, i need to know a few thins about the coolant type;

first, i wanna know what type of coolant i should use, second i got a low coolant warning as i switched to S mode, can anyone tell me is it related to the supercharge, am i in some kinda trouble? i have had this car from 2 months now, and it never did that before, it only gives me the warning when i switch to S mode.

Thanks everyone for the reply.

 

i just checked my coolant tank and it had about half in it, but it was not orange, it was the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) Oil, and its blue and i just refilled the same, hope it wont break anything, the temperature here reaches about 40 degree Celsius, im really worried.

 

Muhammad,

The important thing with coolant is the specification, not the brand.

WSS M97B44-D extended life coolant (5 year) is orange to distinguish it from the older blue products which are usually changed every two years.

Coolant helps to keep the cooling system components in good condition but it's main purpose is as an anti-freeze. Not something you are going to have to worry about in Dubai.

The ADNOC Auto Cool product sheet shows you will do no harm to your Jaguar by using it. If you aren't sure of the concentration, it would be a good plan to flush and refill. Mixing orange and blue can cause problems as they aren't compatible.

Thanks Graham, my car had the blue one, i just refilled it and no more low coolant warning.
