2012 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 V8 Barolo Black

Recommended Antifreeze - 4.4 TDV8

Ok, I've looked in the Wiki and it only details the 3.6 and the petrol engines. The Owners book says Castrol SF but that's like rocking horse doo doo to find.

From what I've read I think it needs either a pink or orange, non-silicate?

Any other guidance opinions? Recommendations on where to buy? Would love to find some in EuroCarParts as they're easy to get too, Amazon next day even better!

Thanks Rob. If I can't find something local that'll do nicely.

I have found this that Eurocarparts do. Looks like it is in spec?

2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Baltic Blue

I bought a litre of Castrol SF from Opie a couple of years ago, but it is still unopened.
It’s not cheap, but 15% off at the moment.

Any pink OAT coolant will do fine. Not had to top up the 4.4, but swapped it all out on the 3.6 for the euro car parts stuff.

NOT BLUE ——— NOT GREEN ——— PINK ONLY There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Should I suck some out?

2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Alaska White

My coolant level is a little low so on cold start I get low coolant level warning which goes away once engine warms up a little. I ordered Castrol SF as the handbook suggests to op it up a little.
Castrol SF i bought is pink but the coolant in the car is orange? Is it ok to mix it? Or do I need to find an aronge coolant? Any other brand suggestions maybe available also in Germany? 2011 Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

I just had to top-off my 2009 L322 Autobiography and the local dealer was out of stock. He told me that it's now $65/gallon. That's USD and a US gallon. OUCH! But, he told me that it's just Dexcool that I could buy at most auto parts stores. I picked up a gallon at my local store for $19.

And yes, it's orange!

I can't say that this'll work in your L322 but this is what I was told I could use in mine.

Good luck!
