    Antifreeze question

    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.

About us
“wayoflife” is a moniker that I’ve been using for 20 years now and I chose it because I think it does a great job of explaining, in simple terms, the passion I have for Jeeps and the Jeep way of life. This is a lifestyle that transcends age, gender and race as the only thing you need to be a part of it is a love for the outdoors, a desire to explore, a yearning to take on a challenge and a will to conquer it. Over the years, Cindy and I have attempted to capture the essence of this lifestyle through photographs and videos and share it with others around the world. And, this is how WAYALIFE was born.
