Is my coolant level normal?

If you're still under any drivetrain warranty I would use the Mopar brand fluid. Amazon or the dealer price is decent. Get the 50/50 mix. You won't need much. That way dealer has just one less excuse for denying any warranty work.

Thank you. I wonder how much I should pour?

Any old OAT coolant is fine. Pour to the max line in the reservoir.

this is the only stuff I will use...and from experience about 6 ounces will put from the minimum line to the max line when hot. if you fill to the max line when cold you will be over full.

My stupid driveway is not flat Can I drive 5 minutes to a flat place? 5 minutes won't make it very hot.

My local Stealer says $22 for a gallon of 50/50

Agreed, if you fill to the max line do it cold.

When your engine is cold, the coolant should be on the Minimum line. Then it will expand as the engine heats up.

Guys, so min or max line? I am confused now Also, what temp is too hot to open the cap? Can I open the cap after 30 minutes of turning the Jeep off?

The line between max and min is the max line, the seam in reservoir is the min line (ish) it’s not an exact science…. As long as it’s around that area, hot or cold you’re ok…

Stopped right there. The cap made some hissing when I turned it 🫣 But all good.
And the cap is so easy to remove, it is made for rookies like me, just turn it anti-clockwise
Should I add a tiny bit more since that's hot coolant level?

 

[Jeep Junkie]

Added a little bit more, now looks good.
