Looked into this when changing the coolant on my TDV8 and came to the conclusion nobody knows.

Thanks for the reply, think i will play safe and as you say use the landrover antifreeze. |

I looked in to this also, and what I found that is if you use an OAT antifreeze that's the same color and "standard" as what's already in the car, then go for it. I've also read that any OAT antifreeze that's not the same color but is the same "standard" (in the case of LR it's wss-m97-b44-d) as what's already in the car is also fine. That's probably why the Halfords OAT antifreeze is marketed as "Compatible with all vehicle manufacturers' colours of OAT coolants." Apparently the colour is just a dye, used for identification and marketing purposes.

Thanks for the information, this confirms my hesitant thoughts about using the car plan antifreeze! |
