Coolant is a fluid that transfers heat and regulates the temperature of your engine block and neighboring parts. Engine coolant is crucial to the longevity of your car, truck, or SUV. Engine coolant contains an additive that guarantees that it won’t overheat above 212 degrees Fahrenheit or freeze below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

How to Check Your Chrysler Dodge RAM Jeep’s Coolant Levels

So, now that we know what coolant is, it’s important to know where to look for coolant in your Jeep Chrysler RAM or Dodge. We here at Superior Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram of Conway have broken down how to check your coolant levels for your convenience:

  • Make sure the engine is turned off and cooled.
  • Check the markings on the side of the radiator cap reservoir. 
  • If the liquid reaches the “full” marking line, no further steps are needed.
  • If not, inspect the hoses connected to the radiator for any damage or leaks.
  • Remove the radiator cap and add the coolant or a 50/50 mix of coolant and water. Keep in mind that some coolant solutions are already premixed.

When to Get Your Coolant Checked at Our Conway Service Center

You can identify coolant by its slightly viscous texture. If you notice a sludgy, thick appearance in your coolant, you’ll want to schedule a service appointment at our Conway Service Department right away. You more than likely have an internal gasket leak. This type of malfunction can result in coolant loss due to drainage, engine overheating, and severe mechanical damage.
