Can any member here tell me why I have to use the Dodge orange anti freeze? Why is it so much better then the cheaper glycol? Can I clean and flush my system and swap for glycol as I know you can't mix the two.

Thank you.
Yes, if you flush your system you can run the other.
The mopar stuff is made by Zerex. It's zerex g3 with a different color dye. No need to flush or any of that. Zerex is 100% compatible with oem fluid. And it costs half as much.
You can flush it and change it over to something else, I don't think there is anything wrong w/ the mopar antifreeze other than it being overpriced. Zerex g-05 is the same as the mopar HOAT antifreeze except it's cheaper and a different color.

It's G-05 and they make differnt fluids for diff manufatcurers. HERE
Thank you! I read up on it and all about hybrid OAT anti freeze etc. I found the Zerex G-05 from Valvoline and I shall be using that one if I can find it for sale in my area. I read that NAPA sells it so I'll check. Anything to get around main dealer rip-offs! lol!
