So I checked my resevoir, and although I have no visible leaks, my coolant is at the "minimum" line. To be fair it's been a few years now so it may just be normal evaporation. I want to top it up but I'm struggling with what to use. I swear there are so many different coolants out there because it's turned into a racket just to money grab from owners.
Is there an aftermarket coolant that is SAFE to use with the stock stuff found in a '19 1500 with the 5.7?
I -could- in theory just go to the dealer and buy a jug but I feel like I'm being ripped off and am not entirely sure I trust them. I called and they "looked up my truck" and said I need the "purple OAT"stuff they sell. I dipped my resevoir and I for sure have pink in there... I'm out of warranty and if I put the wrong stuff in I'm in a world of hurt.
They sell 1gal jugs of concentrate. Guess the price... 75$ a jug. I need about a quart at most...
Thoughts?
