I would stick with OEM coolant. When it comes down to it it isn’t that much more expensive than an aftermarket coolant. Plus if you don’t do a complete flush and more of a drain and refill your only gonna need about 1 bottle.

I flushed mine on my 2010 and have been using Prestone 50/50 yellow (OAT Formula) since 2011 no issues.

If you go this route, even though it indicates as compatible with Mopar OAT, I would do a complete flush.

Also, as mentioned - Mopar is not that much more. I did it for ease of refilling when needed.
