I am in a bind. Yes I know i have to use the ms.90032 but again.... in a bind rn and want to know if this will work or is it that critical to the point i have to leave it down to go buy the Mopar one?
I know people here are anal about "oem everything". I agree. But I want to know if this will work or jelly my coolant system or will have to do anything crazy or is it perfectly fine to mix with the factory one?
If no, I'll leave it down and somehow try to figure it out. Thank you
 
Well,
If you're engine still has a warranty, and unless it specifically states on that bottle somewhere that it is compatible with, or a direct replacement for that OEM spec fluid.
I would recommend you stick with the OEM fluid as replacement.

It's an OAT coolant, so should be just fine.

Hey man. I posted above a screen shot of the description. Let me know what you think. I read OAT as well but my luck i just want to check with you experts.
 
That said you think i can mix?
Why would you? It's not worth the risk. A jug of Mopar coolant can be had for ~$20 on eBay or Amazon. If you buy the concentrate (not pre-mix) and a gallon of distilled water, boom, two gallons worth of coolant.

Read the post again.
Obviously if I had access to oem I wouldnt be posting right now and it wouldnt be an issue. But @HSKR R/T said I'll be fine I'm gona go with that and dump it. I ether tow my boat 2 hours back home with coolant on low (right below on min sign) or poor some of that stuff.

If you are at min in overflow, you are still fine to drive. Unless you have coolant visibly leaking.
 
By this time I'm sure you determined you'll be fine for now and added this coolant. Assuming you had a leak, did you make it to where you needed to go ok? And if you had a leak, you'll be replacing all the coolant you can when you get it repaired, so I hope you didn't sweat it too much.
 
Goodmorning everyone,
@HSKR R/T damn it, i wish i got that reply before I left lol I wouldnt have done it or worried. Anywho, @HemiDude as well, I dumped it in anyways b.c i was paranoid as again it was right below Min just didn't know. But too late now it's in, I'll save this post and reply back in a few months to update if anything negative came from it or all good. But HSKR is pretty knowledgeable and smart with these trucks so I trust what he said.
But thank you, I appreciate your guyses help and help.

Your post didn't have that information. Regardless, unless you're in the arctic tundra, you could've just added some distilled water. It would slightly increase the freezing point, but would have gotten you through just fine. Not only that but being down to MIN is not anywhere close to damaging your truck.
 
Selection Of Coolant

For further information page357image1420974784page 396.

NOTE:

Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant, may result in engine damage and may decrease corrosion protection. OAT engine coolant is different and should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive Technology (HOAT) engine coolant or any “globally compatible” coolant. If a non-OAT engine coolant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency, the cooling system will need to be drained, flushed, and refilled with fresh OAT coolant (conforming to MS.90032), by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.

Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine coolant products. Do not use additional rust inhibi- tors or anti-rust products, as they may not be com- patible with the radiator engine coolant and may plug the radiator.

This vehicle has not been designed for use with pro- pylene glycol-based engine coolant. Use of propyl- ene glycol-based engine coolant is not recommended.
 
It says right on the bottle that it meets Stellantis OAT requirement and it even specifically lists Ram. There is no reason to pay more for something that says "Mopar" on the bottle when it may come from the same assembly line anyway.
