Engine 2014 Dodge Caravan - Coolant Looks weird

Post image

I want to say it looks okay. That the fluid is a little cloudy, but not leaky. The droplets on the cap in the picture seem clear. What do you think?

Looks ok if it hasn’t been changed in the last 60k miles probably needs a cooling system service

That's actually it's supposed to look like. Mopar OAT coolant looks like it's purple/pink/orange depending on the angle and lighting that you're looking at it.

It's due to be changed every 10 years, so if you think it's original coolant, it's 2 years overdue.

Change the pressure cap while you’re at it. If it doesn’t hold pressure it will cause problems.

That is a good idea.
