First determine what it is- if it's orange it is most likely anti-freeze. Open cap and see if that's what it is.

The 2002 Jaguar X-Type typically requires JAGUAR-approved automatic transmission fluid, specifically JAGUAR specification ZF LifeguardFluid 5. It's important to use the correct fluid to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the transmission. Always consult the owner's manual or a professional for the most accurate and specific recommendations.
You can't. It is a closed system and per the Minneapolis Jaguar dealer, you do not change the fluid or filter ever. I do not believe this and now at 120k on my 2002 S Type 3.0L, my transmission is slipping. I am having the pan dropped and new fluid put in to see if it solves the slipping issue.
the jaguar gearbox is sealed for life.so you have bigger problems,unless you have had a leak
I had my S type done 1 year ago it cost me £450.00
To check the transmission fluid in a 2002 Jaguar XJ8, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is running at normal operating temperature. Locate the transmission dipstick, which is typically found near the back of the engine bay. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, and then remove it again to check the fluid level. The fluid should be within the designated range on the dipstick; if low, add the recommended type of transmission fluid as specified in the owner’s manual.
The brake fluid fill cap on a 2002 Jaguar is typically located in the engine bay, near the rear of the engine compartment. It is often found on or near the master cylinder, which is usually mounted on the driver's side. The cap is usually labeled with a symbol that indicates brake fluid, making it easier to identify. Always ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is cool before checking or adding brake fluid.
The curb weight for a 2002 Jaguar X-Type is 3400 to 3500 pounds. The 2002 Jaguar X-Type is 183.9 inches long.
Buy a new transmission oil pan gasket before your transmission blows from leaking liquid.
the fluid will be leaking from the head
Checking the transmission fluid is an important part of owning a car. A person pulls out the dipstick while the car is warm, wipes it off, dips it into the car and looks at the level of the fluid on the stick.
