Where is the bolt under radiator to flush coolant for 2019 jeep wrangler jl sport 3.6 ?
Just curious, whats your mileage? That coolant is good for at least 100K miles.

there isn’t one and there is absolutely no reason to have one. You should leave it alone.

You should not have to drain/flush for quite sometime

Mine seems to be low when warmed up after a drive, still 1/2 inch below seam line.

20k miles

Yes, it is low. Add fluid.

I have just over 45,000 mi. on my 2018 and have had to add fluid, say 3 times since purchase 3 yrs. ago.

She's a 2018, so there are some years on her. I'll pick up fluid today and try to double check for any drips after work.

I'd hold off and buy the fluid say at Amazon. Local Jeep place will charge to much for the same fluid you can get in a couple of days from Amazon.

IF, you have never added coolant that level is probably just a refection of such.... nothing wrong, you just haven't added fluid over the last 3 years. 8-)

Around the reservoir, look for pinkish dried mist.. look at seams and at connection points. In the pic all looks aok..

CURIOUS ..... what is the deal with the clack zip ties on the reservoir. They are not factory.

Thanks for the tip.

The zip ties are to kill a small rattle that the reservoir creates some times. You can hear it inside the cab when driving or at a high idle. Drove me nuts for months until I found the solution as a tip on another thread. 2 minutes of work and it's been fine for 1.5 years now.

@redsyphon

I was aware that a few here had used the zip ties for that. I remember the posts in the past... I figured you did for that reason... Great that they worked for you..

I too am bothered by little rattles/noises and have done more then a few such fixes lets call them to silence things on my JL...

Oh, check your power steering fluid. IF you haven't added any, my guess is you need to top that off too..

Noticed while cleaning my rubicon today, my coolant level is low, below the MIN line and below the seam in the tank, like many others in here. Runs fine, never had an issue, 2018 19k miles. Is this just a common thing from the factory? I’m thinking of just adding some, don’t feel like having dealer touch my car. Thanks in advance

I added a splash to mine and it's been fine. No better, no worse. However, I sleep better at night knowing it's in-between the MIN and MAX lines because I'm OCD lol.

Note, I really only added a splash to get it to the MIN line cold. I.e. making sure it is just under the max line when running/hot.

Went to dealer, they only had concentrate, so I bought and diluted exactly 50/50, yet it looked purple compared to my pink reservoir. Is that ok? I threw it in regardless only because I needed so little. Probably only added 10-12oz or so. (Still have a lot of the mixed solution in that jug leftover)
Thanks in advance
