It is a liquid (of a green color) which has a freezing point which is lower than water because of its alcohol content. It usually can freeze at about -12 degrees Celsius. This is used in the coolant systems in cars to prevent damage when the car is exposed to cold winter temperatures. Water can be used in the radiator, but it will freeze at 0 degrees Celsius causing the pipes to rupture or other forms of damage.

Is dex-cool compatible with Mopar antifreeeze?

Dex-Cool and Mopar antifreeze (often based on ethylene glycol) are not typically compatible. Dex-Cool uses a different formulation and additive package, which can lead to issues like gel formation or reduced cooling efficiency when mixed. It's generally recommended to use the specific type of antifreeze that is designated for your vehicle to avoid potential damage and ensure optimal performance. Always consult your vehicle’s owner manual for the correct antifreeze specification.
