What color is the coolant/antifreeze in your Renegade? User manual says to use Mopar 10yr/150,000 OAT coolant...which from looking online appears purple in color...and the 5yr/100,000 Mopar coolant appears to be "orangish" color from what I can see online. The coolant in my reservoir is "orangish"..not purple.

My coolant is purple.
What is the level of your coolant? Mine is just above or just on the low line.

Apologies, I just checked again and it seems that I have the orange radiator coolant (not the purple).
A friend mechanic told me that the orange radiator coolant is the cheapest. The purple one (G12+) is much better as it has higher temp stamina (it is designed for cars that are driven in higher temp climates) and better lubrication abilities.
I plan to change mine to purple as soon as the warranty is over.
For the time being, I will just top it up to the "max" line.

Ofcourse, probably the orange coolant that my friend refers to, is not the same as the one that Chrysler uses. In the article posted earlier it says that this orange coolant is a cocktail of different acids.
In any case, I plan to change mine to purple as soon as the warranty is over as the new Chrysler OAT will have a purple dye.
