    Probably due for a coolant change / flush.

    So assuming I get the OEM Clatex Havoline OAT which of those do I get? Any what qty goes in??
    Havoline Xtended Life Inhibitor – Concentrate 1602 7.5% RED
    Havoline Xtended Life Anti-Freeze/Coolant – Concentrate code 3355 50% ORANGE

    Doing a full flush i would use a different easier to find coolant, no point sticking to OEM.
    I went to a couple of caltex servos nearby but they only had the green E/G based coolant so i will use nulon or penrite.

    ok I will ask simpler questions.

    I assume coolant comes as either a premix or it is added as a ratio to and I'm assuming distelled water, not tap water? If tap water is fine then that is great. One less hassle.

    So what is the capacity of the cooling system so I know how much of this goop I need to buy?

    Can anybody tell me which coolant I need to buy, not just a brand which does not help with my decision making.
    thanks

    You must use distilled/demineralised water only.

    And FWIW the original LR OAT was/is? Texaco/Chevron/Caltex ELC, which is also GM DEXCOOL, available from any Holden dealer and almost identical to CAT ELC, which is the Chevron ELC stuff with a couple of supplementary additives.
