1996 Chrysler Coolant

[outoforder]

Looking to purchase a 1996 Sebring convertible this weekend. Did a search and partsgeek says toe MOPAR orange HOAT coolant. With a car this old, I would have guessed it ran on old school green. Thoughts?

Factory fill was old school green, I'd stick with that.

Keep it green in a car of that vintage.

+1. We had a couple of '96 Intrepids, and they came with green.

FF was IAT green, and if you don't mind changing coolant every 2 years then it will serve you fine.

If instead you want drain intervals every 5 years, then go HOAT: Zerex G-05 available at NAPA. This is what I use for a 1996 Jaguar XJR.

Chrysler didn't start using g05 till 01 or 02

I would use regular green as well.

Chris: They started using it in 2001.

Thank you for that link. I was thinking it was old school green but then I saw this:

Old school green is what I'll use. Well, if I get the car. Dealer asking $1997 for a '96 one owner Sebring convertible with 111,900 miles. Wish me luck tomorrow.

My 2000 Dodge GC came with G-05.

G-05 is a good choice and I would be careful to ensure that you are actually getting legitimate old school green, as many of them are actually Dexclones.

 

[outoforder]

Appreciate all the feedback, but it's a moot point now. I found a Toyota Camry solara for $1850 out the door that I'm going to get.

So as Gilda Radner would say

Converted plenty of 90s Chryslers to G05. No issues.
