Is the coolant we have any different than Dex-Cool, or is it the same thing? My manual doesn't say to use Dex-Cool obviously, but some Mopar specific coolant, with a chemical name (forget it at the moment). Are they just trying to get me to buy the Mopar coolant from the dealer?

Chrysler uses "hybrid organic acid technology coolant (HOAT)" but I didn't think I had that. Dex-Cool is "OAT." :? I found something called "Glysantin" that is the same thing....off to research more....
EDIT: The chemical name that is in my manual is ethylene-glycol FWIW.

Cant you just get some of the coolant that "mixes with anything" ?
I mean you would think they researched that statement before they used it as a selling point.
