I have green prestone, which I've been reading reviews on it being crap, and then reviews on it's the best.

Can i flush it and use Zerex G-05 in my 2000? I've read chrysler started using this type of coolant in 2001. The last XJ year was 2001, and I'm pretty sure 2001 has the same block made of cast iron, like 2000, 99, 98.... So can I use this type? Has/does anyone use this hybrid coolant Zerex in their 2000 4.0L??

When I bought my '01 the coolant looked like chocolate milk. Previous owner must have thought stop leak was the answer to everything. Anyway, I ended up flushing the block out, replacing the radiator, thermostat, water pump, all hoses, and heater core then filled with Prestone. That was two years ago and it's still as bright green as the day it went in with zero temp problems.
