Jeep Wrangler: Cooling System / Adding Coolant
Your vehicle has been built with an improved
engine coolant (OAT coolant conforming to MS.90032) that allows extended
maintenance
intervals. This engine coolant (antifreeze) can
be used up to 10 years or 150,000 miles
(240,000 km) before replacement. To prevent
reducing this extended maintenance period, it
is important that you use the same engine
coolant (OAT coolant conforming to MS.90032)
throughout the life of your vehicle.
Please review these recommendations for
using Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine
coolant that meets the requirements of the
manufacturer Material Standard MS.90032.
When adding engine coolant (antifreeze):
- We recommend using Mopar® Antifreeze/
Coolant 10 Year/150,000 Mile (240,000 km)
Formula OAT (Organic Additive Technology)
that meets the requirements of the manufacturer
Material Standard MS.90032.
- Mix a minimum solution of 50% OAT engine
coolant that meets the requirements of the
manufacturer Material Standard MS.90032
and distilled water. Use higher concentrations
(not to exceed 70%) if temperatures
below −34°F (−37°C) are anticipated.
Please contact an authorized dealer for
assistance.
- Use only high purity water such as distilled or
deionized water when mixing the water/engine coolant solution. The use of
lower
quality water will reduce the amount of corrosion
protection in the engine cooling system.
NOTE:
- It is the owner's responsibility to maintain the
proper level of protection against freezing
according to the temperatures occurring in
the area where the vehicle is operated.
- Some vehicles require special tools to add
coolant properly. Failure to fill these systems
properly could lead to severe internal engine
damage. If any coolant is needed to be added
to the system, please contact an authorized
dealer.
- Mixing engine coolant types is not recommended
and can result in cooling system
damage. If HOAT and OAT coolant are mixed
in an emergency, have an authorized dealer
drain, flush, and refill with OAT coolant
(conforming to MS.90032) as soon as
possible.
NOTE:
Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other
than specified Organic Additive Technology
(OAT) engine coolant, may result in engine
damage and may decrease corrosion protection...
The cap must be fully tightened to prevent loss
of engine coolant (antifreeze), and to ensure
that engine coolant will return to the radiator
from the coolant expansion bottle/recovery
tank if so equipped...
Other information:
FCA advocates driving at safe speeds and
within posted speed limits. Where speed limits
or conditions are such that the vehicle can be
driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tire
inflation pressure is very important. Increased
tire pressure and reduced vehicle loading may
be required for high-speed vehicle operation...
This warning light will
illuminate along
with a dedicated message on the
display (if equipped) if an unknown
fluid not conforming with acceptable characteristics is inserted, or if an
average
consumption of AdBlue® (UREA) over 50% is
detected...
