FiremanFrach Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I own a 2009 Dodge Journey SXT. I need to top off my coolant and the owner's manual recommends Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant 5 Year HOAT (red [or pink] in color). I was wondering if there is an equivalent coolant I can purchase at an auto store. I'm going on a road trip and I only need to top the recovery tank off. Plus, I really don't want to pay $20.00 for a gollon of coolant at a dealership. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman, You really should be getting the Mopar HOAT as it is designed for our engines and Mopar parts are priced competitively. That being said, if you are going to purchase from an auto store, just make you get the equivalent to MS-9769G. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted Dodge service via email with the same question. Let's see if they reply. If not I'll call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tstone Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Use Mopar coolant!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiremanFrach Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 LOL. Relax. The Zerex G-05 was another one of those hard-to-find items. Walmart (here) doesn't carry it and it looks like nobody else sells it. So I bought the Mopar coolant. $23.00+. Highway robery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
