Nothing is extreme when dealing with factory recommendations. Ethylene glycol is the sorriest antifreeze/summer coolant you can buy. It has a useful life of about 2 years, then it degrades rapidly. The stuff is $8-9 a gallon, which is relatively cheap when you think about broken engine parts because it froze up one night. Use good soft water to flush out the old and put in new. You won't have any problems.
Better still, flush it out and put in the new long life antifreeze/coolant.Mopar recommended coolant change?
What year car are we talking about?? If it does not have extended life coolant in it then 30,000 miles is about right. 2 years,24,000 miles was the industry standard until extended life coolant came out but I don't think Chrysler uses it.
We're talking about a $60 flush every 30,000 miles, so even if it is a bit soon, it's not really that big of a deal.Mopar recommended coolant change?
Weigh the cost of a coolant change vs. a head gasket, tow, and stranded. also since most people use theirs to tow the boat or off-road toys, how much to replace those when you have to leave them somewhere. now you make the call, and remember, nothing last forever
