Coolant could be topped off. Any suggestions of what to buy from dealer or parts stores to do so?

I would get the MOPAR OAT coolant right from the dealer.

You know you have the right stuff if it is purple and says it is a 10 year, 150000 mile coolant on the jug.

Your choice if you want it premixed or straight. I personally don't like paying for water.

As mentioned buy from the dealer . It is only a few $$ more but you get the right stuff! I I got the 50/50 and I leave that jug in my truck box to top off.. If I ever empty the 50/50 I will get 100% Anti Freeze and mix myself and use the 50/50 jug as the extra :)!

If its only a tiny bit low(I'm talking a few pints here nothing more)just top it off with some distilled water and don't worry about it unless you live in Death Valley or Moose Jaw,Saskatchewan you'll be fine. Just have the proper stuff on hand for next time if there is a next time.

Mine was low from day 1. I guess they save money by filling to min, then they make money when I pay stupid prices for their coolant.

My stellar dealer sure as hell couldn't fill it up for me.
