What color is the engine coolant found in a 2006 Dodge Caravan SXT?

The color of the engine coolant in a 2006 Dodge Caravan SXT (or any vehicle for that matter) isn't standardized by a single color. It depends on the type of coolant used and how old/mixed it is. It could be:

* Green: This is common for older, traditional silicate-based coolants.

* Orange/Red: This is common for more modern, HOAT (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology) coolants.

* Yellow/Gold: Some manufacturers use this color as well, often indicating a different type of HOAT coolant.

You shouldn't rely on color alone to identify the coolant. The best way to know for sure is to:

1. Check your owner's manual: This will specify the recommended coolant type for your vehicle.

2. Check the coolant reservoir: There might be a label on the reservoir itself indicating the type of coolant.

Using the wrong type of coolant can damage your engine. If you're unsure, consult a mechanic or your vehicle's service manual.
