Thanks, that makes sense.
Guess I have a hard time thinking of a jeep as a Chrysler... for that
matter, Daimler has always associated with Benz in my mind.
Is Prestone ok in the '92 Cherokee?

Re: 98TJ Rotted freeze-plugs/Bad Antifreeze
Prestone = Dexcool and is suitable only for vehicles in which you want to
replace the engine and cooling systems.
You can still get "American Green" 2 year antifreeze which would be
acceptable for your '92. That being said it is only $1 a gallon cheaper
than the superior, and recommended by DC, G-05 spec antifreeze.
You can get the G-05 antifreeze at your local DC dealership, Ford
dealership, Mercedes dealership and (in Cincinnati) Pepboys. All the above
are manufactured by Valvoline. The Zerex G-05 antifreeze comes in a
golden-yellow jug.
You cannot get it at AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, NAPA, Wal-Mart, K-Mart,
or Target (in Cincinnati) as they carry Prestone products.
If you read the Prestone label they claim to meet DC specs but DC
specifically says NOT to use DexCool (OAT) based coolants. Only HOAT based
coolants and the only HOAT based is made by Valvoline.
I can forward you (anyone) a 3 page excerpt from DC concerning engine
coolant. Just send a note with your e-mail address to me below (remove
SPAM)
