I’m assuming this is a troll thread. If it’s not, use mopar coolant and nothing else.

Not a troll, genuine question . Okay off to the stealership

I deleted that reply. My apologies for misunderstanding. It’s more pink in my opinion. I have a gallon I’ve had forever. I add tiny bits every once in a while.

Mopar fluid would be my recommendation.

Colour doesn’t really matter. It does have to be OAT (organic acid technology) coolant. Not HOAT (hybrid….)

There is no standard that all manufacturers adhere to concerning the colour of the coolant relative to type/spec/etc, so you cannot safely choose a coolant for your Jeep based solely on it being orange. The recommended coolant is a 10yr/150k mile formula OAT coolant or equivalent that meets the MS-90032 specification.

Here are a couple of useful posts about coolant. You can't go wrong with MOPAR, but PEAK is also a very good choice.

And just like that I have something new to over worry about ....

It was a lot easier when the only coolant was the green stuff, or straight water. Now I have to buy and store (and label) different coolants for cars/trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, tractor, and so on.

@Badunit
To be honest, one probably still can get by using the old green stuff or straight water (with proper understanding of the shortfalls of doing so). The catch is less optimum corrosion resistance and compatibility with the various metals in the cooling system versus newer types of coolant, plus one would need to flush and refill the cooling system at a very much shorter mileage and/or time interval. That last bit would be anathema to the modern attitude that cars should require very little maintenance and with that only at extended intervals.

No worries, just trying to get an alternative.
