Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Cars / December 2007Dodge Caravan coolant
My daughter has a 200 Dodge Caravan that looks like it needs coolant added, being quite far down in the reservoir. The problem is this: it supposedly takes the "long life" stuff which is pinkish, I believe, but what can be seen in the cannister is green. Is it OK to add more premixed green coolant????????

Either way if it has been mixed you cannot go back to the long life coolant. Also check the water pump for leakage, any small drips could cause the serpentine belt to squeal or possibly slide off.

Does it tell you on the cannister what color it should b e??? The liquid in the cannister is definately green. If the "wrong"coolant has been used what options are there??

Using the new coolant you have to used distilled water for it to be long life coolant. if tap water is added, it has now been contaminated and must now be changed at least every 30k |
