Hey All, im going to change the serpentine belt (94k on OEM) and add some coolant this weekend... what coolant goes in our WK/XKs 4.7?
Mine seems to be an orange color (that normal?), and is at the "add" line. If anyone knows the brand that would be awesome.

These vehicles require specific HOAT antifreeze. There are only 2 options I would recommend:
1) Dealer - a bit pricey.... iirc I spend $30 for a gallon (concentrated so it was really 2 gallons 50/50 = $15/gallon)
2) Zerex G-05 - hard to find in stores near me but its usually around $22 per gallon for the concentrated version from Amazon.
Thanks for the info Matt!
I think weather permitting I may try to tackle a transfer case fluid swap too. Video looks pretty straight forward, just need to get a few tools and the fluid. We'll see.

HOAT for sure like Matt said. Just take one for the team and get it from the dealer.

Changing the coolant isn't any more difficult on these vehicles than it is for others. Its just a matter of locating the bleed port and make sure its open while you're refilling so the air gets pushed out. I like running the vehicle with a coolant funnel on as well to help get any remaining air out of the system.
