Hello
I have a 2004 S Type R that I am tryign to change the coolant on.The coolant is now 5 years old.Can someone tell me the procedure on changing it?I was going to change to Evans Waterless Propylene Glycol coolant.

I also wanted to change the Differential fluid and was going to use Royal Puple 75 W 140 synthetic gear oil.Will this work as the dealership does not recomend anything except jag gear oil.
Thanks Fitz

Use only the jag coolant unless you're brave.
Look up the diff oil spec but no-one seems to change it LOL

 

Well Jag coolant is all very good, but you can use I gallon of the jag coolant and the rest top it off with PRestone 50/50 which blends in with all colors even the Jag's Orange coolant, this was told to me by a Jag tech

 

jag's is affordable enough especially as you change it only every 5 years. You should not need to top it up as it's a sealed system.

 

Your car uses Dex-cool. Much cheaper to just stay with the factory fill. I have changed the rear end fluid and it was black and nasty!! Please find the Jaguar spec. I have posted it on the forum before. I was able to match the Jaguar rear end lube spec at NAPA with a full synthetic fluid. I used a hand pump to suck the fluid out of the rear end so I did not have to remove the rear cover and change the gasket.

Here is my rear end fluid change post. Should answer all your questions.
