It's about half full and left over from my last vehicle. The service manager at my Dodge dealer talked me into buying a jug of their stuff after I bought my SRT-4. I've only had to add fluid a few times in almost 4 years. One thing you have to watch out for are the bozo's at the oil change shops that don't know the difference in the fluids. I had to stop one guy from adding the "green stuff" to my SRT-4. That's one of many reasons I always stand next to the car when the oil is changed instead of waiting in the "lounge". And I always bring my own Mobil-1 oil and filter. I can't wait to move out of this condo and start working on my vehicles again......

I have always heard that the orange coolant went acidic faster then the green stuff, plus the green stuff is compatable with all types and colors of coolant. What happens to the SRT if you run the green stuff?

The orange stuff (Mopar HOAT and other compatable brands) is a newer5 year formulation that should not be mixed with the green stuff. The old ethylene glycol also was highly toxic to kids and pets who liked it because it tasted sweet. The orange stuff is also good for engines with aluminum and alloy componets.
