I found it on line a a few Mopar sites. Cheapest is $24.90 a gallon for 50/50 mix.
The concentrate is around $36.50. By the time I pay shipping to Oklahoma cost is around $40 a gallon.
Color is purple!
I did read where this variation of a OAT coolant does not contain the 2-EHA like most Dex-Cool coolants do.
It is very similar to Peak Global Lifetime. Which makes me think I can mix the 2 without issues.
My truck only has 600 miles on her...so I hate to drain the new coolant to a brand that I can buy locally for 1/4 of the price.
Doing alot of reading leaves me to think that the Peak Global Lifetime might be my best choice.
I just like having a Gallon of the Correct OAT coolant in my garage at all times for top off.
I just wish I could find the maker of Mopar Brand. That would help alot with the narrowing down the most compatible OAT coolant for use.
This
article says that the Chrysler OAT is manufactured by CCI Manufacturing. Never heard of 'em, personally.
It also said (I'm summarizing) that Chrysler went out of their way to make sure the new systems tolerate other coolant chemistries, although they were very demanding (and different from Fiat) in the spec for the purple OAT so that it can last 10 years/150k miles. But they avoided any silicone in gaskets so that 2 EHA shouldn't (I still wouldn't use it!) cause problems like it did when DexCool first appeared. They also did a lot of cavitation tests, which is another problem with nitrite-free antifreezes.
