Correct Mopar Coolant

[roaniecowpony]

There's no majic OEM antifreeze, or majic in OEM antifreeze. Some supplier made it. Probably one of the labels you see in your local auto parts or dollar general stores.

What perfect timing! I just bought some antifreeze to top off my radiator reservoir. I’ll be looking at these other 2 fill areas now as well. Is it the same 50/50 mix for all 3 holes? (That’s what she said)

MS-12106 is the same coolant as MS-90032, the difference is concentrate vs premixed. MS-12106 is the label you will find on the vehicle.

Oh right. Totally forgot about that because it’s yet another important detail that’s not addressed in the manual. Regardless, there’s no label for coolant spec anywhere on my JL, even on the reservoir caps.

It’s not really important at all, but the OEM spec for both the engine and intercooler is just “Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant 10 year/150,000 mile formula OAT or equivalent”.

It’s near impossible to screw up, but the collective intelligence of the general public has gotten so low that the manufacturers have started putting idiot safety locks on the caps to keep people from pouring the wrong crap in there.

Here you go, if you need proof.

I tend to think it's our government taking the "if it can just save one life" approach to everything. Unfortunately, they seem to be able to sell that rationale to the public and inconvenience everyone else and tax the hell out of us all for that, rather than just tell people to raise their own kids smart.

Unfortunately, I see people add ATF, P/S fluid, washer fluid, engine oil, all sorts of crap to the wrong reservoirs. Stupidity knows no bounds.

On my wifes 22 wrangler it has purple coolant in the power pak and orange colored in the engine. Why the diffrent colors?

The coolant breaks down in the engine cooling loop faster because of the higher temperatures and turns an ugly orange pink color. Or, someone mixed the old junk into it.

Brand new came from the factory with two different colored coolant.

It shouldn’t.

Seems to be the right stuff anyway.

Well I called the dealer the purple blue colored is HOAT for battery pack cooling and the engine is OAT is the yellow orange colored. This is on a 2022 with the 3.6 e torque.
