What coolant type to use

Hi,

Here are the engine coolant requirements that the vehicle came with. This info indicates the original type of coolant used by Chrysler and quantity used from empty. If you take the original part type to a parts store, they will get it for you. I will also tell you there are universal types that work with the newer vehicles. Now, the original coolant your vehicle came with should be yellow in color. HOAT stands for hybrid organic additive technology. Again, they now make a universal

The one that we use on our shop is a basic GO-5 universal coolant which can be used in conjunction with the original coolant in your car. I attached a pic below to show you what it is and the pic includes a general description.
