Cooling System
ANTI-FREEZE
Coolant specification
Use ONLY a 50% mix of water and Castrol
Anti-freeze NF or approved alternative. See
‘LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS’, page 271.
WARNING
Anti-freeze is poisonous and can be fatal if
swallowed - keep containers sealed and out
of the reach of children. If accidental
consumption is suspected, seek medical
attention immediately.
In an emergency - and only if this type of
anti-freeze is unavailable - top-up the cooling
system with clean water, but be aware of the
resultant reduction in frost protection. DO NOT
top-up or refill with conventional anti-freeze
formulations. If in doubt consult a Land Rover
retailer.
Prevent anti-freeze coming in contact with the
skin or eyes. If this occurs, rinse immediately
with plenty of water.
NOTE: When clean water is added in the event
of an emergency, the low coolant light will
illuminate if the water/anti-freeze mix ratio is
over-diluted. This light will extinguish when the
ratio of water/anti-freeze is returned to a 50%
mix. This should be done at the earliest
opportunity.
Anti-freeze contains important corrosion
inhibitors. The anti-freeze content of the
coolant must be maintained at 50% ± 5% all
year round (not just in cold conditions). To
ensure that the anti-corrosion properties of the
coolant are retained, the anti-freeze content
should be checked once a year and completely
renewed every 4 years, regardless of distance
travelled. Failure to do so may cause corrosion
of the radiator and engine components.
The specific gravity of a 50% anti-freeze
solution at 68ºF (20°C) is 1.075 and protects
against frost down to -33ºF (-36°C).
