Antifreeze/Coolant type?
I have a new to me 2006 lr3 V8 that needs the coolant topped off. I was wondering what type of coolant to use, just dexcool or something else? I live almost 2 hours from a dealer so I really don’t want to drive that distance for coolant if I can just buy some at a auto parts store.

LR3 uses dexcool. I’ve not heard of any problems with the crusting up like the D2, so most people just continue to use the dexcool. I have read some stuff about heater cores getting partially blocked, but I don’t know if it’s related or not.
How many miles are on it? If it’s got quite a few, then it might be time to flush anyway, and maybe you could use something else in it.
But just topping off, I’d used dexcool.

It has 93,000 miles since I have owned it I have done transmission fluid/pan change, new diff fluid(lucky me I have rear locker), transfer case fluid, all new filters, new break light switch, used sea foam once and always put premium fuel in it. I am going to do a oil change this week with castrol edge, wix filter and use the BG EPR & MOA kit as well.

Chevron Texaco Havoline XLC coolant, orange in colour.
The LR recommended coolant is Chevron Texaco Havoline XLC, the orange coloured stuff.
Below is from a Chevron product brochure. Note that the Chevron XLC meets GMs DexCool specs but I am not convinced that putting GM DexCool in your aluminum engine is quite the same thing.
What you are really after is corrosion protection. Yes, freeze up in the winter matters but what you really want is corrosion free heater cores and open engine block channels not plugged with the results of corrosion.
Rather than just topping up, you might consider a total empty and refill with new fluid in order to renew the corrosion resistance of the fluid. A maximum of five years or 150,000 miles is all Chevron thinks their fluid is good for.
DELO is Chevron’s trade name in North America of the XLC. Below is a link to a product page.
Below is the product description for the Caltex Havoline XLC, the same as the DELO stuff.
Description
Havoline Extended Life Antifreeze Coolant (XLC) is a cooling fluid and corrosion inhibitor for combustion engines
and heat transfer systems. Havoline XLC is an ethylene glycol-based fluid that provides maintenance-free protection
against freezing, boiling and corrosion. With patented silicate-free aliphatic acid technology, Havoline XLC provides
long-life corrosion protection for all engine metals, including aluminum and ferrous alloys. During extensive fleet
testing Havoline XLC has proven to provide protection for at least 32,000 hours.

Recommended Uses
Havoline XLC provides long-life freeze and corrosion protection. To ensure good corrosion protection it is
recommended to use at least 33 volume percent of Havoline XLC in solution. Havoline XLC may be used in engines
manufactured from cast iron, aluminum or a combination of the two metals, and in cooling systems made of aluminum
or copper alloys. Havoline XLC is compatible with most other ethylene glycol-based cooling water treatments. The use
of soft water is preferred for dilution, though lab testing has shown that acceptable corrosion results are still obtained
with water of 20�dH, containing up to 500 ppm chlorides and 500 ppm sulphates. Havoline XLC has been approved by
the following engine builders: Deutz/MWM (0199-2091), MAN Diesel (D36 5600), W�rtsil� Switzerland, Rolls-Royce
(2.13.01), W�rtsil� Finland (32-9011) and Caterpillar-MaK (A4.05.09.02). Havoline XLC meets or exceeds the following
specifications: ASTM D3306 and D4656/4985, BS 6580, and NATO S-759.
Performance Benefits
1. Environment
The carboxylic acids are environmentally friendly.
2. Corrosion Protection
Provides long-life protection against all forms of
corrosion on all metals including the aluminum heat
transfer surfaces contained in modern engines.
3. Cavitation Protection
Offers excellent cavitation protection without using
nitrite or nitrite-based supplemental coolant additives
(SCAs).
4. Seal Compatibility
Has no adverse effect on rubber hoses and gasket
materials as shown in testing a wide range of seal
materials.
5. Heat Transfer Efficiency
The carboxylic acid inhibitor forms a single layer of
protective molecules on the metal surfaces, thus
providing a very efficient heat transfer.
6. Economics
Corrosion protection and low additive depletion results
in less maintenance and repair costs.

2022 Land Rover Range Rover Coolant
Coolant, as it relates to vehicles, is normally a liquid or gas substance used to regulate the temperature of your engine. Liquid coolants are usually half water and half ethylene glycol. Water is used to transfer heat while ethylene glycol is used to lower the freezing point of the liquid. In colder climates, this is immensely critical. This undoubtedly isn’t the first time you’ve heard of ethylene glycol as it is the central ingredient in the popular term «antifreeze». Keep in mind, you never want to pour antifreeze or water by themselves into your engine system. They need to be mixed to develop the proper coolant.
You can purchase ready-made mixtures of coolant that already have water added, or you can purchase full-strength antifreeze which needs to be diluted with distilled water before being added to the engine system. Give the experts at Land Rover St Louis a call at 3145824599 or schedule service online and let one of our technicians and service specialists handle your coolant flush.
Every vehicle manufacturer, including Land Rover has developed its own coolant or requires a specific coolant that is unique to individual years and models. There are several colors of coolants to help distinguish each including blue, red, purple yellow, green, and orange. It is important to do your research if you plan to buy, flush, or replace the coolant in your car. Many models will not be compatible even with «universal» coolants or antifreeze.

It was a green formula coolant that contained corrosion inhibitors that only lasted between 24,000 — 36,000 miles or between two to three years. This type of coolant is not suggested for newer vehicles which come equipped with a longer-lasting coolant.
Newer coolants use an Organic Acid Technology (OAT) and last up to twice as long as older coolant. In some cases these long-life coolants can last over 5 years or 100,000 miles.
For specific facts on what intervals your coolant needs to be changed, check your 2022 Land Rover Range Rover maintenance schedule within your owner’s manual or give Land Rover St Louis a call at 3145824599 today and ask one of our OEM-trained mechanics or advisers.
