Re: Which coolant for 2003 Cherokee
Your best source is your owner's manual. I would not use the fits all
stuff, because as someone else pointed out before it has Dex-Cool
ingredients in it. I went and looked at some of the house brand
Super-TECH that WalMart sells, which is also fits all, and that's
what's in it. I concluded it was OK for my Suburban though.
For a Jeep, HOAT or original green formulation, which Zerex still sells.
This comes up all the time here. For more information
http://groups.google.com, group rec.autos.makers.jeep+******, "coolant
suprise". Watch the innovative spelling. From Outatime, in that thread:
"Incidentally, presense of 2-EHA (sodium 2-ethyl hexanoate) in the coolant
you've examined means you're looking at Dex-cool. If you put this in a
Jeep, I don't want to hear you whining like a spoiled 3-yr. old later when
you have to replace the entire cooling system."
Good advice for you, I expect.

Re: Which coolant for 2003 Cherokee
In '03 all DC products were using HOAT coolant. As far as I know the only
supplier to the aftermarket is Zerex G-05 in the gold jug. Please note
Zerex is a pale yellow rather than orange in color.
It is available in my area at PepBoys, NAPA, and just recently at AutoZone.
An inexpensive flush-n-fill kit makes cleaning the cooling system easy and
thorough.

Re: Which coolant for 2003 Cherokee
I'll take your word for it, but that is a really pale yellow. About the
only way I can tell it isn't water pouring it, is from the index of
refraction.
