I was not going to mix any other coolant with this Mopar Coolant! After reading this article.
I went ahead and ordered a Gal from Amazon.
After reading alot of coolant threads in a few Ran Forums! It seem the dealers are ignorant to this chemical change. There has been quite a few issues after visiting the dealership for service and after words have cooling issues do to the wrong coolant being added for top off.
I trust No one with my investment. Research just takes time.
Smart move not trusting anyone with your investment. After reading the Jeep Forums and the problems they're having with this coolant the only person I'd trust is myself. One of the problems I see is when the vehicle goes through the PDI before it is delivered. If they screw up and toss HOAT in with OAT, or vice versa, you will have problems. A few of guys are bringing their new vehicles home, and doing a complete flush and refill to prevent problems if the coolants were mixed together in error. Many have reported problems with plugged or partially plugged heater cores and the end result is a radiator replacement, heater core replacement, and oil cooler replacement. That leads to a lot of headaches, and aggravation to go along with it. Warranty or not who wants that hassle?
Oh yea lets not forget the casting sand issues in the cooling system some have experienced either.
