Land Rover coolant

Can anyone tell me if this product should be diluted or is it used straight from the container. Nobody seems to know.
Even the dealer couldn't tell me. lt says nothing on the container.

lt's true. Nobody knows!!

Well, l diluted it 50/50 as all the other OAT antifreeze l've got says dilute 50/50 unless you are in the Arctic and it's -50 outside.

lt's only a 0.3 litre top up it needed anyway so it won't make any difference to the system's 10 litre likely capacity.

But someone, somewhere must know. l messaged two sellers on Ebay but neither responded.

The eternal enigma.

Is the Land Rover coolant used as is, or should it be diluted before use.

If it’s the same stuff they sell for the Puma then it will be concentrated and should be diluted 50% with deionised water

yes, I also searched, that's why I bought this product, which meets the prescribed standard STJLR.651.5003 and where it's more clear - you can buy both concentrate and already mixed mixture

On page 461 of my Handbook it says that the coolant is a mixture of 50% water and 50% antifreeze meeting ST JLR 651.5003. So I think the requirement is to dilute it the antifreeze supplied by JLR with water.

This is what I bought from the dealer. Supposed to dilute it 50/50. Luckily I haven't had to use it yet.

Thank you for the replies. l've just had a response from one of the Land Rover dealers who confirmed that the antifreeze should be diluted 50/50 with water.

Just make sure you use deionised water, it’s cheap .
