    The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, and water pumps requires special corrosion protection. Mopar® Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (orange in color), or the equivalent ethylene glycol base coolant with corrosion inhibitors (called HOAT, for Hybrid Organic Additive Technology) is recommended. This coolant offers the best engine cooling without corrosion when mixed with 50% Ethylene Glycol and 50% distilled water to obtain a freeze point of -37°C (-35°F) If it loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and replace with fresh properly mixed coolant solution. Mixing of coolants other than specified (non-HOAT), will reduce the 5 year/100,000 mile corrosion protection.

    Hoat coolant, sounds like you'd have to go to your nearest dodge dealer to pick some up.

    use the long life or anything that's good for aluminum engines. I always use the better quality kind it may be 5 dollars more but think of the prices to change water pumps or head gaskets. I don't use the green I use pink or yellow
