Coolant. I promise, I searched first.

So what kind of coolant goes in an LR3? I know the owners manual says Castrol SF, which is no where to be found. O'reilly's can get Pentosin SF, but is it the same? They say it's violet and the stuff I've got now is kind of pink or maybe orange. I've seen the pink Jag stuff, but I don't really want to pay extra for Jag or Rover antifreeze and I'd really like to be able to buy it local, which neither of those dealers are. I've also seen a post or two say dexcool, but I'm not sure if I believe it.

Hmmm the owners manual also says lrn2279, which I think I've determined is dexcool. I'm not sure how I feel about that. But I guess it's worked ok for many many thousands of miles. I'm still thinking something with less of a reputation problem might be a good idea.

Dexcool.

You can get havoline at oreillys.

Thanks. I got the havoline xlc at O'reilly.

You can get Land Rove XLC (extended life coolant) from the dealership, but its just Dexcool. We only have the Land Rover stuff for warranty repairs.

Makes sense. I just bought a jug of the havoline stuff at O'reilly because it was mentioned by name in the manual. I'll probably get even cheaper dexcool next time.
