I would like to know what coolant to use in my 2001 Dodge Caravan?

Look in your owner’s manual.

Are you low on coolant and need to add some? Or are your draining & refilling?

These days I’ve just started to use the “universal” coolants that are available. They act fine as coolant themselves and can be mixed with any other coolant without problems.
