Some say use it, others say no because it becomes acidic. What should a new lr owner believe?

 

Anyone who says to use it has no idea what they are talking about.

 

X2 ....dex, not, cool
going purely on consensus. I am no chemist.

 

Dexcool was actually an acknowledged mistake by land Rover. Run away from it.

I love this forum but the pop-ups are hard in a phone. Ugh.

 

I'm not trying to be contrary, but when did they change? My LR3 has dexcool in it, and the owners manual mentions Havoline XLC (which is dexcool).

I've noticed a small leak from either the water pump or the thermostat, and I know dex doesn't like leaks, so when I fix it, I'll flush and switch to something else, so I'm not defending dex cool....
