For a 2008 Land Rover LR2, it's recommended to use an ethylene glycol-based antifreeze that meets the ASTM D3306 or D4985 specification. The coolant should be a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water to ensure optimal performance and protection against corrosion. It's also advisable to use a coolant that is compatible with the specific requirements of Land Rover vehicles, such as the Land Rover's own coolant or equivalent. Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations.
