Coolant Color
Hey guys, quick question:
I have a 2009 JKU. From what I understand my Jeep uses the orange HOAT coolant, not to be confused with the purple OAT coolant the newer Wranglers use. My overflow reservoir is a bit low so I would like to top it off. When looking at the reservoir, the coolant appears pink. Insider the radiator it appears more orange. As far as I’m aware nobody has ever added coolant to the Jeep.
Does anyone else’s older Jeep’s HOAT coolant look pink in their reservoir and not orange?
Thanks!

The colors are very screwy when you look at them in containers but yes- the HOAT is what you want.
