CAUTION!

(Continued)

Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine

coolant (antifreeze) products. Do not use additional
rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not
be compatible with the radiator engine coolant and
may plug the radiator.

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-12106) that

allows extended maintenance intervals. This engine

coolant (antifreeze) can be used up to ten years or

150,000 miles (240,000 km) before replacement. To pre-

vent reducing this extended maintenance period, it is

important that you use the same engine coolant (OAT

coolant conforming to MS-12106) 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-12106. 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-12106.

• Mix a minimum solution of 50% OAT engine coolant

that meets the requirements of Chrysler Material Stan-

dard MS-12106 and distilled water. Use higher concen-

trations (not to exceed 70%) if temperatures below

−34° F (−37° C) are anticipated.
