Chrysler recommends using HOAT (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology) formula coolant in PT Cruiser. If you want to do a partial refill and don’t know which antifreeze has been used in your car, you need to do a complete flushing because HOAT coolants can’t be mixed with other type of fluid. 2001 to 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser: 7.2 qt (7 liters) 2003 to 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser: 6.5 qt (6.2 liters)
