Has anyone used this? Supposed to help with cooling. How compatible is it with the HOAT antifreeze?

I put it in about a week ago when I changed my stat. Haven't seen any problems so far.

Have you seen a difference in the temperature?

Just a question about which coolant you have. Is it HOAT (orange) or is it OAT(purple). Reason why I ask, while doing some research on why the OAT coolant was changing color, I was under the impression that FCA started using OAT for all vehicles in 2013 model year.
Some early 2013 Jeeps were still built with HOAT and messed up when OAT was used to "top off" the cooling system.
The OAT coolant will start purple(when new) when new and change to a more of a rose-ish, but will change back to purple when the vehicle is warm/hot.

Don't know I'll have to look at the color.

Yea, but of coarse i changed my Stat at the same time and had my tuner adjust the fans, so I really don't know if the ice helped. Should be able to tell as we get into summer.

I thought this stuff was used for race applications where they use water instead of coolant as it dissipates heat better, and the additive slows evaporation, and corosion. I could be wrong but something along these lines is what "water wetters" are for I thought. Not really beneficial to coolant applications.

Dont forget you have a thermostat that will control the temp. So you can "try" and make it colder but the tstat will not allow it. I guess what I am saying is, this stuff is "snake oil" for us, unless you run water.

What is the correct antifreeze for a 2014? And what's the alternate for the Mopar brand?

It is an OAT coolant that meets the MS-12106 specification.

To my knowledge, I have yet to see any aftermarket non-MOPAR branded coolant that is considered a mixable alternate. Some like the PEAK Global will say it is a suitable replacement but with the caveat the coolant system is completely flushed and replace in entirety with it, so basically no top off or mixing.

I cannot stress enough, make sure the dealer gives you the correct stuff. Should say "10 year/150,000" mile on the bottle with the MS-12106 specification listed.

Part number is 68163848AA or 68163848GA for the concentrate, 68163849AA or 68163849GA for the 50/50 pre-mix. Anything else runs the risk of turning your coolant into a ***** mud substance.
