2.0 Liter Coolant Flush/Fill

[jeffk487]

This is my first Turbo Jeep and I want to do a coolant flush and fill. I have read that I need to change the coolant in the Turbo System and the Engine itself. I cannot determine if these two systems are independendent or not. I am assuming they are one system, draining and refilling main system would replace the approximate 9.5 quarts for engine and 3.5 quarts for turbo system. YouTube channels usually answer these questions but none have mentioned it. Can someone let me know if they are the same or independent system? Also anyone have a good link to YouTube video on this? Thanks!

What mileage? Does Owners Manuel say to change it?

150k or 10 years I don’t believe them

My jeep has 55k manual says every 150k or 10 years

I hope you don't take this the wrong way but you're coming onto an internet forum NOOB section to ask how to do something and yet, you seem to have a better idea what should be done with your Jeep than what Jeep states? May I ask why you don't believe Jeep and based on what?

Seems like in the last 10-15 years, nearly every manufacturer has a coolant that you don't have to mess with for a very long time.

Master science mechanical engineering University of Freiburg and being German we are just skeptical

engineering

that explains it.

Skeptical of Jews too and that backfired.

Actually funny but seems it’s “catching” in USA. Attached are the four files needed for the separate turbo coolant I discovered

I wouldn’t bother flushing it just yet. Not needed in such a short time frame

It is not wise to open a can of worms. Don't take the risk of breaking something which is working just fine.

I have seen various countries get various service schedules and fluid requirements. Subaru for example states to use 0w20 in USD market, while stating 5w30 in most other markets. Or a lifetime transmission fluid in the US vs 30-60k miles changes. So questioning these long fluid cycles is understandable. Nothing wrong with more frequent changes.

In the Subaru oil case, EPA overruled engineering for more mpg...

Last I checked, this is America and not some "various countries" and we're talking about Jeeps here, not Subarus. Call me crazy but I've been doing this Jeep thing for almost 30 years now and anyone who knows me know that I rack up a shit ton of miles every year on all my Jeeps. To this day, I have NEVER had an issue with following the service cycles stated in the owners manual nor have I seen it be an issue on anyone else's Jeep to not follow them. Until or unless that changes, I personally feel it's silly to address imaginary things that don't need to be addressed.

But hey, that's just me.
