Hey, can someone do me a quick favor. I left my truck's owners manual in my shed, and I am at work.

I was checking all my fluids, as I do every few months, and noticed that my coolant level, when the engine is cool, is all the way at the bottom of the reservoir, where the neck starts to get skinny at the bottom. I am guessing the "MAX" marked line, is a cool reading, and should be topped off to there.

I figured I'd stop on my way home, get some coolant to top it off. But...my manual is not in my truck..

Can someone let me know what the factory fill is for the 06 Dakota V6? Its been 4 years and 45,000 miles, I should be flushing soon, I know, but for now, I just want to top it off, and I will do a flush in the summer.

Thanks.

 

The manual says:

Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula HOAT (Hybrid Organic Additive Technology) P/N 5011764AB or equivalent.

Looks like Zerex G-05 will do.

 

hmm, suprised thats all it says, I guess Zerex G-05 it is.

 

i just went into advance and got the 50/50 mix of dex-coolant put it in. mine did the same thing is was all the way to the bottoms truck ran cool it was weird nothing went off saying to add coolant.

 

Yeah mine didn't have any cooling problems. A quart low really would harm anything, but at least it lets me know its time to top it off.

It took about a quart, to get to the "MAX" line when the truck was warmed up. So it was 1 quart low.

Would you guys say that's pretty normal for 45,000 miles on the coolant?

 

sounds gd to me thats how low mine was and im at 48,000 atm
