I recently wanted to flush and replace my 1999 XK8 antrifreeze and found the dealers $45/gal price ludricous. After some research, I found that the "Peak Global Lifetime" product is acceptable for this car - I even asked and received Peak confirmation that this would work - Initially, I couldn't find the undiluted product locally so I called Peak again and found that Walmart carries the 50/50 dilution for a reasonable price - I took 3 gallons in for the flush and replace (at Jiffy Lube) and got one unopened back.
The orange stuff
For a 2005 Jaguar XK8, it's recommended to use an ethylene glycol-based antifreeze that meets the Jaguar specification, typically Jaguar's own coolant or an equivalent that is phosphate-free and meets the ASTM D3306 standard. Always ensure the antifreeze is mixed with distilled water in the appropriate ratio, usually 50:50, for optimal performance. It's best to consult the owner's manual or a Jaguar dealer for specific product recommendations.
