The antifreeze level in my2006 XK8 looks like could stand a topup. The warning light hasn't come on. The level looks like it is close to the bottom of the fill tank.

I figured I would just go into Pep Boys and get the orange stuff and mix it with distilled water. The document in Pep Boys by the antifreeze said there were two kinds of orange. Said they were different. Said one was for GM cars. The other was for Chrysler. I did not buy anything.

Any advice regarding the specific antifreeze I should use?

Thanks,

Jack

 

Use Extended Life Orange Coolant to specification WSS M97B44-D



The spec will be shown on the container label.

Thank you,

I will look for the container with that written on it.

I purchased Pentofrost SF silicate free from O'Reilly's. It meets ASTM D-3306. The data sheet says that it is recommended by Jaguar. Here is the link: http://www.pentosin.net/specsheets/Pentofrost_SF.pdf
It comes in 1.5L and is full strength. I plan to mix 50/50 as the spec sheet recommends.
Cost was $11.99. I will use it on my '01 XKR and my '04 XJ8.

 

Any issues with the coolant or vehixle using this one? Paying 20 at the dealer is absurd.
