Apparently there are several "orange" types.


Which one?

You can't go by color. What does the spec call for?

It is probably dexcool.

Do yourself a favor and spend the extra $25.00 and get the 5L bottle of Jaguar coolant -- you will have no worries and enough to do the job. And use distilled water to make the mix.

OE coolant is formulated per the components of the system -- they are not all the same and its not worth the small difference considering the cost of the components it touches. You have a nice low mile car that more than likely has not been tampered with too much -- best to keep it that way.

I have many cars and lots of coolant around -- none are the same and i'm not talking about color : be it Dexcool types or GO5's.
