Per FCA....
Flush and replace the engine
coolant at 10 years or
150,000 miles (240,000 km)
whichever comes first.
The one i have says 5 years and is color pink, so how many mileage should i change mine?

@jhern88

You say "I have says 5 years" Where are you reading that?

What I posted was found in my Maint. Schedule from FCA for a 2018 JL. You'd figure you are using the same pink coolant in your 2019.

The bottle of Mopar 68163849AB Coolant says 10 Year/150,000 Mile Coolant.

Curious....Why are you worrying about changing coolant on a 2019 JL ?

What is part # of coolant you got from the dealer?

The Mopar 68163849AB 10 Year/150,000 Mile pre mixed Coolant is bright pink.

Again, pre-mixed is bright pink. If you order the non-diluted product, it will look almost purple. Properly diluted, it will look bright pink.

Next time buy on Amazon as it is less expensive there. I go with the pre mix but you can also buy concentrated there.

This coolant is pink and the part number 68163849AB, this one is color purple why is that?
@jhern88

Pre-mixed is bright pink.

If you order the non-diluted product, it will look almost purple. Properly diluted, it will look bright pink.

Be sure if you buy concentrated to use distilled water when diluting/mixing!

Be sure your JL, is stone cold lets say when adding coolant.... using levels marked on reservoir.

So that coolant is new and clean, cause 10 years of not changing coolant is way to long right?
I think ones a year is good right? Is it easy to change coolant in 2019 jeep wrangler sport jl 3.6 automatic myself? Also what is the part number for coolant for my jeep. Dealer is charging $200.00 for this coolant and i think is to much.

Do read over this whole thread...

There is no reason you need to be thinking changing the coolant in your 2019 JLU. No reason!
Perhaps in 5 or more years from now, put not now...

FCA, is putting in 10yr. / 150,000 mile coolant for a reason....

All you need to do is occasionally/as needed, top off the coolant reservoir...

Use the Mopar 68163849AB 10 Year/150,000 Mile pre mixed Coolant which is bright pink. Use this pre mixed product and then you will not have to worry about mixing with distilled water.. Just shake the container and use.

The least expensive place to buy this Mopa premix coolant that FCA, recommends for the JL/JT is on Amazon..

my coolant fluid sits lower than the picture shown above, i was confused and came here to confirm if others were having same issues, and as i can see from the other post it seems to be common for 2018+ JL/ & JT Wranglers as well. i let it sit cold air and still continues to see the same level, will try drive around for 30+ minutes and see where the fluid sits at. my jeep is reaching at 30k miles and will be doing ATF/ Transfer Case fluid change soon, probably will check on the coolant as well.

Just top it off. No big deal.

Max is to the line below the word. Minimum is to the big joint of the reservoir tank.
Where is the bolt under radiator to flush coolant for 2019 jeep wrangler jl sport 3.6 ?
