Frequently Asked Questions

How much coolant does a Land Rover Discovery Sport hold?
The Land Rover Discovery Sport cooling system holds 6-10 quarts total depending on the engine. A drain-and-fill replaces about 50-60% of the coolant. For a complete flush, you'll need the full capacity amount.
What type of transmission fluid does a Land Rover Discovery Sport use?
The Land Rover Discovery Sport transmission fluid type depends on whether it's an automatic or manual transmission and the model year. Automatic transmissions typically use ATF WS, Dexron VI, or manufacturer-specific fluid. Manual transmissions use 75W-90 gear oil.
Does a Land Rover Discovery Sport have power steering fluid?
2015+ Land Rover Discovery Sport models with electric power steering don't use power steering fluid. Older models with hydraulic power steering use ATF or manufacturer-specific fluid β€” check your owner's manual.
What brake fluid does a Land Rover Discovery Sport use?
Most Land Rover Discovery Sport models use DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. DOT 4 has a higher boiling point and is preferred for performance driving. Never use DOT 5 (silicone-based) in a system designed for DOT 3/4.
