Post year/engine and specifics and history of maintenance for the most accurate replies.
An owners manual or maintenance manual would outline what you need.....good idea to have both of these. ebay good source.
Always consider a new 195 degree thermostat (from Jeep or the Stant SuperStat) when performing cooling system maintenance. And a new cap. And check hoses. And clean the throttle body and idle air control.
And the list goes on.........

I wouldn't recommend using straight antifreeze. Your maximum protection ratio is 60% antifreeze ratio to 40% water. Going with a heavier concentration isn't recommended, nor necessary. 50-50 is fine for most lower 48 state applications.
But buying the concentrated anti-freeze is cheaper (add your own distilled water) than buying pre-mixed.
