Type of Coolant

I am replacing the coolant in my 2006 XJ8 (4.2 litre). I suspect that the present coolant is the original and is red in color.
What coolant are you currently using in these vehicles?![Icon Screwy](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_screwy.gif)
So many stories about coolant gelling and incompatibility.
Dexcool, Zerex G-05, Prestone etc. what coolant type does Jaguar recommend apart from probably their own brand.
My vehicle came without the Owners Manual, so I don't know any recommended specs.
Thanks

From research and the forums I came up with GM Dex-Cool, it meets the "WSS M97B44 Standards" and is Orange in color. I've used it when I had to top off shortly after purchasing the car (It was only down a tiny bit, but it bothered me) and I haven't had any problems.
