Subject: G-05 Anti-freeze IP: Logged
Message: My '03 has the pink anti-freeze in it. I just want to top it off for now, but will flush and change later. I know you can't mix this with the green coolant. I ordered some from my local carquest and they delivered Zerex G-05 that is yellow. It says it is for '01 and newer DC's. Is it ok to mix with the pink stuff?

Message: Honestly, with all the stinkin' colors now, I just use Prestone's universal stuff. Says right on the bottle: "ALL Makes, ALL Models"
It is green, but is compatible with all the new low-tox stuff (I think it is also low-tox by the way).
Any LPS should have it...Wal-Mart too.

360Quadcab,
Just some general information, but maybe it helps.

Regarding Antifreeze & Coolant Color ...
... Red, Green, Purple, PINK .... and even NEUTRAL YELLOW ?
Regardless of the color ... what you do want is a Propylene Glycol (PG) Based Antifreeze and Engine Coolant which is safer for kids, pets, wildlife and the environment ... than Ethylene Glycol (EG) coolants, which are sweet tasting and extremely toxic (fatal). Many deaths have been attributed to Ethylene Glycol (EG) based products.
The DC Service Manual's for many Dakota's and Durango's state to only use antifreeze containing HOAT Technology ( HOAT = Hybrid Organic Additive Technology) to minimize aluminum corrosion and for its biodegradable characteristics.
__________
- Please consider AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant -
AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant is dyed neutral YELLOW and is compatible with other fluids including HOAT, Ethylene Glycol (EG) and Propylene Glycol (PG) coolant formulations. This includes DEX-Cool®, Sierra®, and Zerex®. It is also compatible with fully formulated diesel antifreezes and other organic acid technology (OAT) and hybrid organic acid technology (HOAT) formulations. AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant is biodegradable and requires no special disposal costs or procedures in most areas. Above all, its low toxicity presents no threat to children, pets, wildlife or the environment.

Prevents Metallic Corrosion --- AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant offers Improved Protection Against Liner Pitting, and Resistance To Corrosion of Aluminum, Iron Surfaces and Solder Points.
Independent tests reveal AMSOIL Antifreeze & Engine Coolant surpassed standards for metallic corrosion. It plates metal to protect even when exposed to acids and salt spray. Standard allowances for loss in aluminum and solder are less than 60 mg.
AMSOIL Antifreeze & Engine Coolant lost 0 mg in aluminum and less than 6 mg in solder. Standards for iron, steel, copper and brass allow a maximum loss of less than 20 mg. AMSOIL Antifreeze & Engine Coolant never exceeded a 3 mg loss in any of those metals in a testing period that was run for 10 weeks, three weeks longer than required tests.
Stops Leaks
AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant adheres to metal. It self-seals hairline cracks in welds and seams to prevent leaks, without additional stop-leak products or fibrous materials.
Universal Application
AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant is universal in application and is ideal for use in both gas and diesel power trucks and cars, RVs, and heavy-duty trucks of all size.
Freeze Point
Freeze Point can be checked with a PG (not an EG) hydrometer or refractometer, or with a color-coded paper strip (available from AMSOIL, product code G-1165 (pack of 6) or G-1164 (pack of 50).
Recommended for Applications Requiring the Following Automotive and Heavy Duty Service Specifications:
• ASTM D-6210 • ASTM D-3306 • ASTM D4985-98 • ASTM D 6210-98
Boiling Point (sea level):
219° F at 40 percent concentration, 222° F at 50 percent, 225° F at 60 percent; increase by 40° to 45° F if a 15 psi radiator cap is used.
