KJ Coolant Question
 

The '03 Liberty manual says that you should not use Propylene Glyco based
coolants. I've been using Propylene Glycol based in my other vehicles for
some time without any apparent ill effects. I prefer using this type, since
it is supposed to be less toxic to pets and other animals (yes I know that
NO coolant is good for the environment, but accidents can happen).

Does anybody know why Chrysler says to use ONLY Ethylene Glycol based
coolant?

Hmmm... That's the reason that I use the ethylene glycol... With a small pan
underneath to catch any drips so that the neighborhood cats won't have to
lick it off the concrete... <evil-grin>

Because Chrysler hates cats also?
Because they hate it when the damn cats climb on their hoods and scratch the
paint?

I think it probably has more to do with the particular corrosion inhibitors
included in the coolant, rather than the base.

By the way the antidote for ethylene glycol poisoning is beer.

Earle, isn't beer the "universal" antidote?

Of course, but only indirectly for most conditions. For instance, beer is
an indirect antidote for being rejected by a pretty woman, because it makes
all women look pretty. It directly displaces ethylene glycol in the body,
thus making it a "particular" antidote for ethylene glycol poisoning.
