2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

The SG or strength should be in the owner's manual, so long as you buy one the same (if they make different strengths!) you should be OK. Are you sure your level is low - check in the manual because if your engine was cold at checking time then I think that you will find the coolant level drops. Level should be between the Min and Max lines moulded into the expansion tank at normal operating temperature I think. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

After topping up you may want to keep an eye on things. If the water level keeps on dropping and there are no obvious leaks, I would suggest the cooling system to be pressure tested for condition and leaks. Malaysia Boleh!

Netherlands 2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Buckingham Blue

Thanks Tim and Bobby.

Just came back from my ski trip in Andorra's Pas De La Casa.

Excelent snow conditions with blue sky and no wind!

At the end i just filled up the reservour with 1\2 liter of bottled water.

Got a hotel with inside car parking, so no risk on freezing the cooling system.

Before my trip back to Barcelona, i checked the level again and it dropped 1 cm.

Today i'm gonna book the local dealer for a service anyway.

I guess after they check the system for leaks, they only need to ADD the pink anti freeze, no?

By the way, the 2.7 used 8.1 L/ 100 km for the whole trip (highway 140 km/hr + mountain rodes) SW

Sometimes it is not enough to do our best;
sometimes we must do what is required.

United Kingdom 2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Santorini Black

So... let me ask a similar question again, if you don't mind.

I might need to top up Engine Coolant, the manual says to use Castrol SF Antifreeze, but I cannot really find it anywhere.

I checked Halfrods, they seem to have a similar pink colour antifeeeze, but I would not trust Halfrods too much.

Any suggestion on which coolant is better to use, will be very much apreciated.

Thanks. Vadim A.

Spain 

look at the links, is from our web dedicated in Spain to LRS, but RRSS are the same mechanicals, use google traslator to understand what rFollia says.
