I usually point my truck up hill (in the driveway) and let it run with the cap off for 15-20 minutes to let the air out. I don't know the capacity off hand. Zerex makes a HOAT that is the same as the oem stuff for half the price.

Also there are 2 different coolants available. yours takes the extended life 100,000 mile coolant. you could also look at a parts store. the bottle must say chrysler approved and it must say it uses HOAT technology. using green coolant, dexcool, or the universal clear coolant will cause corrosion, sludge, and water pump failure.

Just an FYI...Prestone extended life DOES NOT meet Chryslers MS9179 spec...it only meets GM and Ford spec...The ZEREX G-05 does meet Chrysler spec MS9179 for a 5/100 coolant...

I used the mopar stuff both times and it was not pre mixed.

Interesting when did they start the special coolant? Been using the green stuff forever.
