Default What off the shelf coolant?
What off the shelf coolant is compatible with the Jaguar Orange coolant. Does Prestone Dexcool meet the coolant specs - it's orange.

Thanks

The owners manual provides the specification. Make sure the coolant you wish to purchase meets this spec. Colour or manufacturer's name is meaningless.

There is no OTC product that meets Jaguar's spec for coolant that I know of, and I have looked....bite the bullet and buy a jug of JAG coolant and make sure you mix it with distilled water only.

JUST FYI - Looks like the Prestone Dex-Cool meets the Jaguar spec.

Thanks>.News to me..LOL, I need to get out more..

Anyway..here is the Spec for the Jaguar Coolant.., Just don't want to have anyone cross mix the two if they are not compatible.
