I bought some extended life any color antifreeze, I'm planing to drain My cooling system and fill it back up with this. I used the search engine and can't find any threads with this same topic so anyone have any advice, can I use the af I bought.
Btw it is the liberty on My sig.

Thank You.

Jeep uses a HOAT antifreeze, like Zerex GO5
Some have done a complete flush and used other brands but for me I'd rather stay with the same type they spec'd out

Your cooling system is speced for HOAT coolant which is a low silicate based coolant.Those "all makes/models" and "universal" coolants are OAT coolants which are silicate free and are dexacool clones.Google dexacool and see all the fun stories about that junk,will make you feel sorry for GM owners.

NAPA has the G-05 HOAT for around $13 and change. I just bought some. Best thing is that it is 100% anti-freeze and not a 50/50 mix with water like most places sell.
