Question About Mopar Coolant

[DanW]

Who makes Mopars 10 year/150,000 mile coolant?

I bought a gallon of 50/50 pre-mix but would love to know who makes it. I'm sure if we knew the equivalent, it would be a good bit cheaper.

Well, first of all, why did you buy the 50/50 premix? You could have bought the concentrate for just a few dollars more (wasn't that a Clint Eastwood movie?) and mixed it yourself and had twice what you have now. You don't have to mix it all at once but when you use some you would just pour in half of what it takes of the concentrate and then half of distilled water.

Lol, well two reasons. 1, I don't have to worry about buying distilled water and mixing, and 2, because I want to carry it pre-mixed in a sealed bottle (sealed under the cap) on long off-road trips, such as to Moab in a week or so.

I just saw on another forum that Valvoline told a Jeep owner that it was chemically exactly the same as their current Zerex Dexos formula. Since it is about $20, I'll stick with the Mopar at $22. Not enough savings to make it worth changing. Gotta see what Peak says next, or even Prestone.

@DanW

I'm with you, I'll stick with the Premix..

I get mine here / watch here and when the price dips, I buy:

Just snagged it. That's a good price!

Yes, good price and I have even seen it there for a couple of $ less.

Whatever. Your initial post indicated that you were looking for a lower cost on the coolant, so that's why I mentioned that the cost of concentrate isn't all that much higher than the premix and you end up with twice the amount of coolant after adding distilled water.

As an example, both the premix and concentrate are available on Amazon. The concentrate is less than $4 more and a gallon of distiller water is available at most grocery stores for $1. All come in a resealable bottle.

Yeah, definitely cheaper. I was hoping to find the actual maker of the exact formula and maybe pick up a bottle for 14 or 15 bucks, pre-mix. But they are close to the Mopar's price.

Thanks for the suggestion!

This thread made me realize I never think about the coolant. I ended up buying a concentrated jug to have on hand in case I need it. thanks

Clicked on the link to see if it was different than what I bought a few months ago thinking I could have got something incorrect not checking with the fourm guys n gals first. Amazon tells me this is exactly what I purchased in November. So I concure with Rhinebeck01.

I used to do the concentrate and mix with distilled water, dance but to me just not worth the trouble to save a couple of bucks.. I look/watch for the premix on sale and buy it then and place in the garage til I need it.

I'm all for saving $.... but I will save them elsewhere..

I do not know who produces the Mopar coolant. In general, manufacturers such as FCA Chrysler, will source more than one supplier. That way they have less chance of a supply interruption due to a disaster, strike, etc.
