What type of coolant does Dodge use?

What type of coolant does Dodge use?

We recommend using Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant 10 Year/150,000 Mile Formula OAT (Organic Additive Technology) that meets the requirements of FCA Material Standard MS. 90032. Mix a minimum solution of 50% OAT engine coolant that meets the requirements of FCA Material Standard MS. 90032 and distilled water.

Can you use Prestone antifreeze in any car?

Prestone is guaranteed for all cars and can be mixed with any other colour of coolant/antifreeze, making it the best choice for you. You can use it to top up your car or to refill the cooling system after you’ve drained and flushed it.

What coolant is equivalent to Mopar?

zerex go5 or ford gold is all the same, the mopar stuff is dyed red and the zerex is a gold/neutral color so that it will blend in. Use only HOAT antifreeze, dont mix the green stuff in and dont use the antifreeze that says all makes/models, becasue it is not hoat compatable.

Is Mopar coolant the same as DexCool?

Dex is an OAT, Mopar is a HOAT. They don’t gel up when mixed because they’re very similar to begin with, only difference being that the ‘H’ in HOAT is ‘hybrid’, meaning it has added silicate for better corrosion resistance.

Is Mopar antifreeze premix?

Mopar Replacement OAT 50/50 Premix Antifreeze Coolant is a long-term formula, blended for dependable performance up to 10 years or 150,000 miles. No need to mix with water; just pour it into your radiator.

What color coolant is Mopar?

Have about 30,000 on it now. It’s my understanding the OAT MS-12106 Mopar antifreeze is supposed to be purple in color. Attached a pic of the antifreeze inside the reservoir.

Can I mix Mopar 5 year and 10 year coolant?

Do not mix these coolants together in any concentration. If, for some reason, one of these coolants is mixed with another already in the cooling system, serious problems will occur. The coolant will coagulate, preventing the flow of coolant. This can lead to engine overheating.

Does the color of antifreeze matter?

The truth is, color is not a reliable predictor for what type of coolant you have. For example, OAT coolants are usually orange, yellow, red or purple. Then the older IAT coolant is green. Coolants that manufacturers sell can confuse matters even more, like Honda’s blue coolant.

Is it OK to mix coolant brands?

You can mix two different colors of the same kind of coolant without any problem whatsoever. But if you mix a significant amount of one type in with the other type, you’re weakening your corrosion inhibitors (it happened to my brother, and look at the condition he’s in now).

What is the difference between coolant and antifreeze?

Well, antifreeze and engine coolant are similar, but not the same. Antifreeze is a concentrated, glycol-based liquid that must be diluted with water before use – at which point it is referred to as coolant. Engine coolant is a mixture of antifreeze and water, with a common ratio of 50:50.

How do I know what coolant I need?

Rather than open the cap on the radiator, just check to see whether the liquid reaches the “Full” line on the side of the coolant reservoir shown here. It’s part of the coolant recovery system. If the liquid doesn’t reach the “Full” line, open the bottle and add a 50/50 mix of water and coolant until it does.

What happens if coolant is below minimum?

No, it is not safe to drive with a low engine coolant level. Low engine coolant can cause airlocks in the coolant system and an overheating engine that can destroy expensive parts like the engine block or seize it completely. Just be careful never to open the coolant reservoir when the engine coolant is hot!
