Coolant selection and additives. Coolant-adding additional
The presence of aluminum components in the cooling
system requires strict corrosion protection. Maintain
coolant at specified level with a mixture of
ethylene-glycol based antifreeze and water. Daimler-
Chrysler Corporation recommends Mopar Antifreeze
or equivalent. If coolant becomes contaminated or
looses color, drain and flush cooling system and fill
with correctly mixed solution. CAUTION: Do not use coolant additives that are
claimed to improve engine cooling. Do not remove radiator cap to add coolant to
system. When adding coolant to maintain correct
level, do so at coolant reserve/overflow tank. Use a
50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze containing
Alugard 340-2 y and low mineral
content water.
Remove radiator cap only for testing or when refilling
system after service. Removing cap unnecessarily
can cause loss of coolant and allow air to enter system,
which produces corrosion.Coolant selection and additives
