Hello .. any one found a good supplier for this ?
I know I can go to the main dealer .. just wondered if there was any Halfords stuff we could use, My F Type needs a small top up and is orange in colour and can not be mixed
Mixture of 60% water and 40% antifreeze meeting Jaguar Land Rover specification STJLR.651.5003. Cold climate markets*: Mixture of 50% water and 50% antifreeze meeting Jaguar Land Rover specification STJLR.651.5003.
Just a thought before I go to the local main dealer
regards
Engine coolant fluid
I'm pretty sure the Halford's OAT stuff is compliant as someone over on the "other" forums looked into it.
However, if the top up is very small then I have used filtered water from the kettle (hard water area) to top up about 1cm on the tank.
I mentioned it to a tech at my dealer and he suggested the filtered or distilled water as the dilution is negligible and performance wouldn't be affected for such a small amount.
Both my V6's needed a small top up after a few months but never needed doing again.

OK
Looks like ASTM D3306 is the same spec as JAGUAR LAND-ROVER STJLR 651.5003

I was given the same antifreeze by Westover Jaguar , and I also questioned that the hand book spec. was not on the bottle. Service dept. assured me it was the correct antifreeze, (orange coloured as opposed to the green). He also said, as mentioned by Phil, that a small top up with water only would be ok. Strange and confusing that they do not print their own spec on their own branded antifreeze.
I also asked whether the Jaguar antifreeze was "ready to use" (already diluted with water) or is it concentrated antifreeze and therefore requires diluting. The answer was, it is concentrated, and will require diluting.

Not really, if the spec was there you could probably find cheaper alternatives in future.
