Fleetguard Coolant??

[crispyboy]

I was down at my local hardware store and I noticed they carried Fleetguard coolant at what I thought was a decent price. $9.99 - 11.99 gallon. Can these be used in a 2009 truck? I plan on changing the coolant in the future. I did not see a Chrysler spec on the label.
If I purchased antifreeze from the dealer would they sell me HOAT or the newer OAT antifreeze? This can be very confusing.

Agree it is very confusing to me as well. I am running the prestone 50/50 mix in mine and calling it good.

I have been running the ES Compleat for years in my 99.

Actually OAT is the older technology. HOAT came about because of issues with OAT. Dodge dealer will sell you HOAT or you can get Zerex GO-5.

The dealer should sell you coolant by application -what it was built/designed to use not just the latest type.

Thanks Bob4x4 that what I figured.
After some research I think I figured out what I need to know. The third generation truck I own has the HOAT antifreeze. Everything from 2013 and up uses OAT antifreeze. Don't mix them together.
