changing coolant...flush? help...
I noticed my wifes 08 reservoir was almost empty. We were headed on a 400 mile trip so I just filled it up with some.peak stuff I had that I have added to it before.....got home started looking at coolant issues on Jeeps....so realized I used wrong antifreeze.....heading to get the stuff from stellarship. Was going to.drain rad and resv. Should I flush the system....I dont know how, but would rather do it myself if it needs it. Also how do I feel rad back up.....if I feel reservoir will it fill the rad?

You can get the Zerex G-05 HOAT coolant at regular auto parts stores, too.
If you go to the dealer make sure they don't give you the new OAT stuff.

Trying to find my leak as well....
First pic looks and feels like it has had a leak, what would that be?
Second pic is from the pass side by oil pan looks like a possible leak....what could that be?
Third pic is where Trans meets the engine...it was a red fluid hanging on looked like tranny fluid but I haven't noticed a lose in Trans fluid
