This week I had the Jeep stealer replace the timing belt, pulleys, water pump, thermostat, and serpentine. When I dropped it off they asked if I wanted the coolant flushed or just topped off. Since I recently did a flush and coolant replacement with Zerex G-05, I told them to just top it off after they replace the thermostat. I decided to check fluid levels when I got home, and was surprised to see that the coolant in my reservoir is now red. Zerex G-05 is amber color. The paperwork from the stealer indicates that they used "Shell 5yr". Is this acceptable for our rigs? |
