Blue or Red Antifreeze??

Fake Elvis · Jun 15, 2010

FYI - Morrisons fuel stations sell Havoline extended Life OAT coolant for about £3.99 a litre

...or is it £2.99, anyway it's cheaper than main stealers/halfrauds...

a) yu shouldnt mix antifreeze - as they can form a gel and block waterways - so did yu drain out all the old stuff first?
b) you need to use OAT antifreeze in gaylanders.
c) check wot yu put in - if its incorrect drain it, flush it and refill.

Do you mean Freelanders? Does this work for td4 FL1 06?

Thanks

You have posted on a 14 year old thread. It's a dead 'un.

So as along as the antifreeze contains OAT, it’s fine?

Yes - OAT antifreeze

And please stop using the very old threads…!

Why is it a problem using old threads?

If the content is related, it makes sense to add to an existing one regardless of its age.

Freddie17 · Tuesday at 16:51

If it is related content, then yes.
If it is answering people or asking about their issue from 10 years ago - no, you won’t get a reply.

Has anyone tried prestone? There were red/pink ones at the store but it didn’t say OAT, only red color and some ingredients

Prestone make a coolant/antifreeze which is universal. I've use it in the daughter's fiat 500, and it's not caused an issue. I only used it because that's what she bought.
There are cheaper OAT coolants available, but if you don't mind spending more, Prestone coolant/ antifreeze will work.

Well the prestone was the same price as the cheap one.

I was also thinking of changing the coolant, do you know where to drain(FL1 td4 06)? I dont mean flushing just changing. Right now ive driven the car with coolant on nearly the minimum mark on the tank for a little while.

Do a Google image search for the same model Freelander as yours, make sure its got British plates on it, and tap that number into the Halfords website
