Default coolant low, how do i replace?
Is there a write up or something? Or do I just buy some and pour it in? And what type do I buy?

I'm going to head over to Pep Boys and have them deal with it for $80.00. They have Zerex G-50 Hoat coolant the Jeep needs after 60,000 miles. Pretty good, I never added any coolant in that time.

The factory stuff is supposed to be good for 5yr/ 100k miles and you can buy a single gallon of it from the dealer for $24, it mixes 50/50 like most other coolants.

My coolant was low awhile back. Just added some Zerex G-50 to top it off.

HOAT for the 07-12s. Zerex G-05 or the mopar stuff.

Beware, they changed to a proprietary OAT starting with the 13s.

I backed out of having Pep Boys do it. They started adding things up to $103.00 and I basically said,"Forget it." Bought a couple 5 qts and will do it myself. I need to find a 13 quart container to hall away the old stuff.
