Coolant

[mjd91]

I've been searching around and see where the stock coolant cannot be mixed with anything else. I also read that it is quite expensive at the dealer (imagine that). On another website I saw a post about Valvoline's Zerex G-05 coolant. It states that it is approved by Chrysler for use.
Looks to me that it is a suitable replacement for the expensive factory stuff.
Just wondering if any of y'all have been running it?
What's your take on it?

Doing a little more research. The PTCruiser guys only recommend the Mopar stuff or this Zerex. So it looks like a great alternative!

The Mopar coolant is only $22 a gallon, which in my opinion isn't bad to make sure you have the right stuff. Just my opinion.

Prestone Yellow is reformulated to mix with any color antifreeze/all makes/all models. There are no exotic metals, or gaskets/seals that are not in any other vehicle on the road that runs the yellow stuff.. It runs about $13-15. Its ok to use in a pinch, and in my last truck i did a flush with it, and drove for another 60k miles and had no rust. However im with VPRPWRD. If its only going to cost you $15-20 more to run mopar collant. Why not?

Avoid the dexcool, its been getting alot of lawsuits lately.

I use Evans waterless coolant in my engine and my water cooler/intercooler! It works awesome, my temps stay at 184F and were around 205F before.
