Jeep Wrangler: Cooling System / Disposal Of Used Coolant
Used ethylene glycol-based coolant (antifreeze)
OAT or HOAT, is a regulated substance requiring
proper disposal. Check with your local
authorities to determine the disposal rules for
your community. To prevent ingestion by
animals or children, do not store ethylene
glycol-based coolant in open containers or allow
it to remain in puddles on the ground, clean up
any ground spills immediately. If ingested, seek
emergency assistance immediately.
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...
The coolant bottle provides a quick visual
method for determining that the coolant level is
adequate. With the engine OFF and cold, the
level of the engine coolant (antifreeze) in the
bottle should be between the ranges indicated
on the bottle...
