What kind of coolant does a 2007 Dodge Caliber use?
The 2007 Dodge Caliber uses a specific type of coolant, known as Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant. This is the recommended and approved coolant for this vehicle model and year.
Coolant Specifications for the 2007 Dodge Caliber
The 2007 Dodge Caliber is designed to use a specific type of coolant that meets the following specifications:
- Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant or an equivalent that meets the ASTM D3306 standard
- Ethylene glycol-based coolant with a 50/50 mix of coolant and water
- Coolant that is free of silicates, phosphates, nitrites, and borates
Using the correct coolant is important for the proper functioning and longevity of the Caliber's cooling system. Mixing different types of coolant or using an improper mix ratio can lead to issues such as corrosion, reduced heat transfer, and potential engine damage.
Coolant Maintenance and Replacement
Dodge recommends changing the coolant in the 2007 Caliber every 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. It's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule to ensure the cooling system continues to operate efficiently and protect the engine from overheating.
When replacing the coolant, it's crucial to use the specified Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant or an equivalent that meets the ASTM D3306 standard. Mixing different types of coolant can cause compatibility issues and potentially damage the cooling system.
