Additional Notes

  • The Land Rover Discovery 2 L318 (USA) cooling system capacity of 12-13 liters applies to both the 4.0 V8i and 4.6 V8i engine variants, indicating a relatively large coolant volume consistent with a full-size V8-powered SUV.
  • A capacity range expressed as 12-13 liters, rather than a fixed single value, typically reflects minor variation in the actual fill volume depending on how completely air is purged from the system during a service drain and refill.
  • The 4.0 V8i configuration covers model years 1998-2003, while the 4.6 V8i configuration covers 2002-2004, meaning both engine variants were available during the 2002-2003 overlap period, each sharing the same 12-13 liter cooling system capacity.
  • Both configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the capacity figures listed apply to standard operating conditions rather than a severe-duty or first-change-only service scenario.
