From my knowledge the antifreeze used by Jaguar is the same as the Ford one ( a hangover from when Ford owned Jaguar) and it is important not to mix anti freeze fluid from other makers. I am not sure about the other fluids you mention but a quick call to the service department of your nearest Jaguar agent would answer your question

Thank you Barry for your kind words.
I`m also very good with blocked drains, locked cars and sorting out internal family disputes. Anything you want to know, just ask.

You forgot about fixing boat engines while leaning at 45 degrees on a mudbank!
A small advisory point to our new member and original poster. It is considered on the internet that when typing , if you type in capitals it is the equivalent of shouting. I did not make the convention and if you want to shout...THEN SHOUT! Just advice to help you along but keep sending in questions it benefits everyone with a jaguar , in particular an X-350.

Yes it does matter, because at some point your use of caps could be misinterpreted by someone who takes offence by your comment. Generally its a mistake a lot of inexperienced to computers and web forums tend to make, once pointed out in a friendly manner, as was done by Barry, they usually understand.
