CAUTION!

(Continued)

This vehicle has not been designed for use with

propylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze).
Use of propylene glycol-based engine coolant (an-
tifreeze) is not recommended.

Adding Coolant
Your vehicle has been built with an improved engine

coolant (OAT coolant conforming to MS.90032) that allows

extended maintenance intervals. This engine coolant (anti-

freeze) can be used up to ten years or 150,000 miles

(240,000 km) before replacement. To prevent reducing this

extended maintenance period, it is important that you use

the same engine coolant (OAT coolant conforming to

MS.90032) throughout the life of your vehicle.

Please review these recommendations for using Organic

Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant (antifreeze)

that meets the requirements of Chrysler Material Stan-

dard MS.90032. When adding engine coolant (antifreeze):

• We recommend using MOPAR® Antifreeze/Coolant

10 Year/150,000 Mile Formula OAT (Organic Additive

Technology) that meets the requirements of Chrysler

Material Standard MS.90032.

• Mix a minimum solution of 50% OAT engine coolant

that meets the requirements of Chrysler Material Stan-

dard MS.90032 and distilled water. Use higher concen-

trations (not to exceed 70%) if temperatures below

−34° F (−37° C) are anticipated.

• Use only high purity water such as distilled or deion-

ized water when mixing the water/engine coolant

(antifreeze) solution. The use of lower quality water

will reduce the amount of corrosion protection in the

engine cooling system.
