Just though I'd share this video showing how to change coolant on a jeep grand cherokee 5.7l
Ya definitely don't trust the "10 year coolant"...That thing was filthy inside.
I did a drain and fill on my wife’s 2015 Altima at around 59K just to do it, just did a d/f on my 17 accord sport with 45K, again just to do itYa definitely don't trust the "10 year coolant"...
There is always someoneSeriously, thanks for the effort but MAN, >10 minutes of....amateurish, "shaky cam" video.
Please lets learn how to edit.
Got to say...shocked the radiator looked like that at five years...he didn’t say how many miles...but I imagine 80,000-100,000 miles. It reminds me of early 2000’s GM days. Looks terrible.
I guess I’m lucky, I’ve had Lexus/Toyota’s the last six years. I don’t think I could have Gotten my coolant to look like that if I left it in there unattended for ten years and 200,000 miles. Got to imagine other manufacturers are the same
Ok that makes more sense, because that radiator looked like it was a dexcool radiator from the early 2000’s.If you will read the comments below....he discovered that someone has mixed HOAT + OAT antifreeze in his Cherokee...
Someone else posted that it was discovered that the coolant had been mixed with a hoat, along with the oat that was in there.He has 115,000km (mentioned in another recent vid)... its quite common with that oat coolant... there are a number of posts/videos that I've see complaining/showing that oat coolant being that way
Ya me too, someone in another thread posted that some of the 2014 models ended up with the Orange HOAT coolant... so maybe thats what happened to mine, cause it sure looked orangeSomeone else posted that it was discovered that the coolant had been mixed with a hoat, along with the oat that was in there.
Edit — I didn’t see the video you posted. So now I’m really shocked to see something like this on a modern coolant/vehicle.
