Prestone Extended Life (green/yellow) should cover it.

Sadly, good 'ol green is becoming hard to find (leave it to people to get rid of products that work). I now use universal coolant in my vehicles.

Use "zerex" G05 coolent it meets and exceeds manufacturing recs. Keeps my kept at a steady 115

mix it 50/50. Don't waste your money on that 50/50 stuff unless your REALLY bad at math!

I use conventional (green) coolant in my 99.

How many gallons fills the XJ? I need to redo everything. I bought two gallons of Prestone Yellow 50/50 premixed.

Is it the 4.0?

Synyster

Yes

I don't know why my Jeep loves Supertech 50/50.

Completey dry is 4 gallons, when I redid most of my parts I used about 3...I didn't drain the block though.

they can make it any color they want as long as it has an ethylene glycol base it will work....50/50 is best for any conditions and to lube your water pump...I prefer to mix my own and not pay the middle man to do it...to each their own on that...I personally change mine every year as over time and under extreme conditions it will break down....

use distilled water when mixing.
