The MY11-MY12 used HOAT MY13 on used OAT, I got a pleasant surprise the dealer price for 4 or 5 Ltrs (cannot remember which) was only $36.oo, so no brainer

If the temps do get down to -9.7°C you might consider another non Mopar antifreeze for yourself. I particularly recommend this one.

You'll be right with the standard coolant.

Just don't do what I did. I was driving down the mountain back to Jindabyne late one night and not thinking, hit the windscreen washer jet.

It was a long and hairy drive the rest of the way with ice covering the windscreen. I couldn't see a bloody thing

That's when alcohol based window washer comes handy, they make them for freezing conditions as well.

Yes indeed. That’s where my Chivas Regal comes in handy, and you can divert one washer jet hose into the cabin if you like !
