Coolant top off?

Postby Kestral » Thu Oct 29, 2015 4:59 pm

So my radiator overflow tank is a little low so I thought I would bring the fluid up to the recommended fill line. I have some Prestone universal 50/50 mix on my shelf is that ok to use or do I have to get Nissan 50/50 mix? By the way I have a 2012 V6 Pathy.

50/50 is fine for the 4.0

If you are just adding a small amount, it will be fine. But adding a significant amount of universal or green coolant to Nissan Blue will shorten its service life of 7-years/150,000 miles.

Now if you're under warranty you have to deal with the dealerships
