It depends on what you have in your car already. LR uses an OAT type coolant, don't mix it with anything than other OAT's.

Guide Rod Mount Rot

I wouldn't worry about to gp light too much. Mine rarely works correctly. I'm a little confused by what you mean by block heater though? Did you break a pin off of the gp harness?
