DodgeJourney518 Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Hello, I have a 2014 Dodge Journey SXT AWD 3.6 and here lately the temp has been running a little higher than normal. When I turn on my A/C it seems as if it helps at times but others it seems it is causing it to run hotter. If I am still at a light it seems to go down in temp but when I am driving for long periods of time if seems to also run hotter. I recently have started using my heater which has help with the temp and it stays at a lower temp. I have no leaks and radiator and overflow is filled where needs to be. Any ideas on what is going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2late4u Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 MAINTENANCE MS 12106 vs MS 90032: What Are The Differences? ByDaria HGolosenina There are many coolants available in the market with different specifications, uses, and longevity. So getting confused between different coolants is pretty common. So confused by ms 12106 vs ms 90032? Both MS 12106 and MS 90032 are Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant with OAT technology. They can be used interchangeably but MS 90032 needs to be mixed with water and works better with powersports vehicles. While MS 12106 is ready to use, MS 12106 has a higher freezing point, is better with heavy vehicles, and is cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
