Default 2012 coolant confirmation

I am changing my coolant this weekend (adding a water heater for camping so it seems like a good time to change it) I have read all the coolant threads and best I can tell for a 2012 jeep jkur, Zerex G-05 will work. Just looking for confirmation on that due to the large amount of info out there. Thanks in advance.

The 2012 requires HOAT. From the literature, that's what the Zerex is, so you should be ok. When I need to top my coolant off in my 2012 I bought a HOAT product from NAPA.
I am interested know the water heater you mentioned. What is it? I too go camping and you have me curious.

I'm also a bit curious about this water heater you're installing. Sounds interesting and trying to envision it. Do you have a link or pics of the idea? Maybe what I'm picturing in my mind is way off base.

It is called a synergy sit, shave, shower. It is essentially a heat exchanger that uses coolant to heat water. Got a good deal on it ~Christmas

Well, have to admit I had no clue something like that existed. Kind of interesting idea.
