No the other stuff is not okay and they can order Zerex GO5,it's made by Valvoline.The Napa's here(and at any other one I've visited all over the country) have it in stock.

You can use Ford's Premium Gold Coolant also,it's HOAT coolant.

THe Zerex G-05 is the correct coolant for both gas and diesel KJ's. Napa should have it but many other chains in my area don't and will tell you to use prestone universal that is not HOAT and bad for your jeep.

I called my local NAPA and they told me they always keep a few gallons on hand or would be happy to order it if they didn't have enough on hand. also if you have AAA they give a discount on many parts if you show your card, but little to no discount on fluids.

Looked. Not on shelf. Anyone got a good source for this in the DC area?

Wally does not have it here either. Wally has not had beans since they changed their model to be like Target. They used to carry deep cycle batteries for RV's and trolling motors but not anymore :juggle:

I got my G5 at the local NAPA, the only place I found it. If yours does not carry it order two and scold them have them and ask for a discount for not stocking it :goink:

Retail stores are cutting back to the point of forcing people to mail order that further erodes their business. All the young MBA's seem to have been taught by the same professors that never worked in the real world :dead:

Have you tried other parts chains like O'Rilies :?:

To the best of my knowledge you have the following options on HOAT coolant for our CRDs.
1. Mopar HOAT extended life coolant from any Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealer
2. Xerex G-05 - any competent NAPA store, Amazon, I would assume any "real" auto parts store can get if pushed
3. Motorcraft (aka Ford) Premium Gold Engine Coolant - Ford dealers or a variety of online places

Whatever you do don't fall for the any old "universal" coolant, extended life or otherwise, will work so buy XXX. There are forum members that can show you completely clogged coolant systems from going that route.

So true. Wally world up here is all over the map on what each store carries. Some have it...some don't.

LMWatBullRun - Try another location or try NAPA.

Zerex ok?
