Default Antifreeze

Does anyone know what kind to put in there. I have an 04 in case you can't tell, it has the orange stuff. I'm getting low on coolant so I need to add some, but I'm not sure what kind to get. Anyone know what the dealer/dodge puts in there?

I would just go ask pep boys. I know they have the right stuff, and with the newer antifreeze, they label what they are compatable with what manufacturer uses it. Last time I got Prestone, when I had my gm truck, the front said it was for GM and Chryslers. It was orange as well. From what I read somewhere, it is better for the aliminum radiators. You still jhave to mix with half water I believe. Just use distilled water though.

I just drained mine and put some new prestone i think it was. IT says you can MIX with any color antifreeze. My car has been fine since.

Prestone makes a antifreeze that is good for any type.

I got some called Zerex G-05 since it specifically said its for newer chrysler vehicles. Its used in the production of 2001 DaimlerChrysler Vehicles and beyond.

The thing you are looking for besides the spec number from Chrysler is that it is what is called

Hybrid Organic Additive Tech. HOAT
