Default Coolant?

I'm a little low and need to top off and searching here I see Zerex G-05 recommended but I can't find it.

I've tried Wal-Mart, O'Reilly and Auto Zone.

All I can find is Prestone Dex-Cool and their (along with other brands) "long life" formulas in the traditional green color.

All off them claim to meet specs for all models.

Do I believe it? Have the aftermarket coolant folks really made the universal formula they claim to have?

You could try a dealer, I don't know how much the Mopar Anti-freeze is, But sometimes the mopar stuff isn't as much as you'd think.. (Key Word is sometimes)

Personally, I'd say that Dex-Cool is the best. GM has been using it for years, and it doesn't eat the aluminum radiators and heater cores like the 'Standard Green Stuff'

Just my $0.02

I put the dex-cool in my SRT, but I also had it COMPLETELY drained so I did not mix it with the old stuff.
