Antifreeze

beep119 · Jun 7, 2017

Going to do an antifreeze flush in my 2012 ram. Changing the thermostat as well (thanks to guys recommendations) in another post.
So just wondering since this Ram takes HOAT antifreeze, wondering what you guys use? I heard even the prestone or others that don't say HOAT, but say can mix with any other antifreeze...this I heard is still not good.
At my local Canadian tire they sell "OEM" by Recochem. This any good?
Or is the Prestone stuff that says can go in any vehicle ok to use?
Thank you

I flush my coolant every year and get my coolant from the dealership. That's one of the things I go to the dealership for. That's what I would do if I was you; went to O` Riley one time and they gave me the green stuff that turned out to be wrong.

2 gallons..

I drained my radiator via the lower hose connected to radiator. I couldn't figure out how to remove the plastic radiator drain plug. Any suggestions?

I twisted the plug counter clockwise a 1/4 of a turn and pulled nothing happened so I gave up.

2 gallons is what I needed to replace after draining.
