COOLANT - CHANGE TO SPECIFICATION
Cause
At the above VINs, Havoline XLC (Extended Life Antifreeze Coolant) was introduced on production. This product is manufactured by Texaco.
Action
The above coolant (pink in colour), which has previously only been used in Discovery Series II and Defender from 99MY, is based on ‘Organic Acid Technology’ (OAT). It is the ONLY coolant which is approved for vehicles built from the above VINs onwards and must not be mixed with any other type of coolant / anti freeze. All concerned must be aware that the use of non-approved anti freeze will have an adverse effect on cooling system performance and durability and that Warranty will be compromised.
One part of this new anti freeze should be used with one part water for protection down to -36 degrees C, (-33 degrees F). The product is now available from Land Rover Parts as ‘OAT Anti Freeze’, refer to PARTS INFORMATION for details.
