So a buddy used Prestone af2000 on his 2014 jku. I tried looking online to see if it's oat or hoat but couldn't find anything. Anyone know?

according to Prestone, it'll work with any color antifreeze.

I used it a few years ago when I had to replace my thermostat and pump at a hotel parking lot, never had any issues and still in the radiator.

Yeah I don’t believe that for a second. I’m sure it’ll work with most but if you mix that Vw coolant it turns to brown pudding.

Just saying. Engines are expensive. Heater cores are a pain in the ass to get to. Coolant is cheap. There’s no reason to mix it, I’ve seen a lot of issues from such a small easily avoided thing.
