Dodge Durango Coolant Type by Year
The coolant specification changed during the Durango's current generation. Match the model year and the specification printed in its owner manual before topping up or buying coolant. Color alone is not a reliable specification.
Safety Warning
Never open a hot or pressurized cooling system. Let the engine cool and follow the applicable fill and bleed procedure. If coolant types have been mixed or the existing coolant is unknown, have the system identified and serviced before adding another type.
The checked transition
Dodge's 2011 and 2012 Durango owner manuals specify HOAT. The 2013 and 2014 manuals specify OAT meeting MS-12106. Checked 2018, 2020 and 2024 owner manuals specify OAT meeting MS.90032. The old answer that assigned MS.90032 to every 2011–2024 Durango was wrong.
These are checked model-year examples, not proof that every intervening year uses the same material standard. Select your exact year and engine in the manual, and use the applicable owner information or vehicle label for the final product choice.

Owner manual evidence
Open the Dodge owner manual for your year. The coolant table or cooling-system section gives the applicable chemistry and standard; a full-system capacity is not a drain-and-refill amount.

The hosted 2024 Durango 3.6L service-manual Fluids table lists OAT MS-12106, while Dodge's 2024 owner manual specifies OAT MS.90032. We have not established why those source labels differ. Confirm the current requirement for the exact vehicle before purchase or service.
