engine coolant low, how to replace.

[jeek.olllllllo]

Is there a write up or something? Or do I just buy some and pour it in? And what type do I buy?

It needs to be Mopar approved HOAT coolant. I had a hard time finding it at the local auto parts store. I went to the dealership parts counter and paid a little more but, I was sure I got the right coolant.

I think the Zerex G-05 is approved. I guess you just have to find it.

andrew -

 

[jeeeep]

Zerex is approved and has the additive - I found it locally at oreilly's and auto-zone

But do I just pour it in? Or do I have to do something else?

What makes you think you're low? Are you looking at the reservoir bottle and if so, are you looking at it when it's hot or cold? Otherwise, just pour it in to the reservoir and make sure it's HOAT as mentioned.

Mix it with water, 50/50

LOL!! What he said. Assuming you buy straight coolant, you need to mix it with water 50/50 and preferably with distilled water.

Well I looked at it cold in the morning not starting it and it was right at the minimum and when I drove for an hour and it went up about an inch and a half
