I just love the part about"if you are operating outside of the above range consult your dealer"

range -20F to 122 F. If you are out side of these ranges I say MOVE!

In theory, I should be consulting my dealer for 2-3 months a year. -20F* is kinda normal here.

Don't you have the VEHICLE CARE handbook? If not, the complete VEHICLE DOCUMENT SETS for all XK8/XKR from 1997 to 2005 can be downloaded as PDF's from here:
