It's not premixed AFAIK.

There's no need to buy pricey Jag branded fluids for your car. It's simply standard coolant that's been repackaged.

Thanks, Mikey. That is my impression as well, but I can't be 100% sure. Not that it should really matter a lot for a very small top up, or does it?

Depends on what's already in the car's system. Best test it to be sure.

No, I meant what is the present coolant/water ratio of the coolant already in the car? The ideal is 50/50.

Also, there are testers for testing the protection strength of coolant, as well.

Default Jaguar Coolant color.
If your Jaguar is still under warrenty then use the Jaguar branded coolant as Im doing. Its orange in the jug but when you pour it on the ground or in a pan it turns yellow/green.
