What the code means

  • The 2022 Ram 2500/3500 owner's manual specifies OAT coolant "conforming to MS.90032" and warns against mixing it with HOAT or "globally compatible" coolant. [1]
  • Mopar's 2026 catalog lists 10-Year/150,000-Mile OAT coolant as concentrate to MS-90032 (68163848AB) and 50/50 to MS-12106 (68163849AB), and calls the two interchangeable. [2]
  • The Mopar eStore describes 68163848AC as "OAT Concentrate. Standard MS-9769", which differs from the catalog. Coolant makers list MS-9769 on HOAT products such as Zerex G05. [3]
