What type of antifreeze does a 2008 dodge grand caravan use?

The 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan requires an OAT (Organic Acid Technology) antifreeze/coolant with HOAT (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology) compatibility.

Specifically, you should use an ethylene glycol-based antifreeze/coolant marked "Orange" or "Reddish-Orange" and meeting Chrysler MS-7170/MS-9769 standards. Here are the specific steps for adding antifreeze/coolant to a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan:

1. Park your vehicle on level ground and allow the engine to cool down completely.

2. Locate the coolant reservoir in your vehicle. It is usually a clear plastic container with a black cap located near the front of the engine compartment.

3. Remove the coolant reservoir cap. Be careful, as the coolant inside may be hot and pressurized.

4. Check the coolant level. It should be between the "Full" and "Add" marks on the reservoir.

5. If the coolant level is low, add enough antifreeze/coolant to bring it to the proper level.

6. Replace the coolant reservoir cap securely.

7. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to circulate the coolant.

8. Check the coolant level again and add more antifreeze/coolant if necessary.

Note: It is important to mix antifreeze/coolant with water in the correct proportions according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Failure to do so can compromise the performance and protection of your vehicle's cooling system.
