How low is it? Why are you picking up coolant?

Autozone told me it its only available from the dealership. Its just below the line. i was thinking of flushing it since i'm almost at 100K.

Ohh wow, you have a 2008 with 100K mile...

Oh my.... I am not sure if I am jeasul or if I feel sorry for your wallet....

Well, I would hope the Owners Manual, would have to Coolant type and amount needed.
Dealer Only sounds right. These new Jeeps, cars, truck, seem to use new fancy coolant forumals.....

$13 at Napa,Zerex GO5 in the gold bottle.Un-mixed so one gallon baottle mixed with 1 gallon distilled water makes 2 gallons of 50/50 mix.

Thanks tjkj2002, once again you're a source of knowledge. Thanks I'll make that trip first thing in the morning. Anything I should know before I attempt the Flush or is it pretty standard?

To do a proper "flush and fill" you need a machine like this http://www.rtitech.com/coolant_mcx-2f.asp

If you don't have one of those laying around and/or don't want to pay a shop to do it then just drain the old out and add the new.
