Hey Guys. What sort of engine coolant is the best for our car? I need to top up mine.

Cheers

Just goto any Nissan dealership and get some OEM nissan coolant.

make sure you flush the living crap out of your system before changing brands.

japanese coolants run different chemical compositions to the aussie ones. even the aussie brands have different chemicals in them. The effects of mixing them can result in sedimentation which can result in your system clogging up, or in corrosion.

if you are buying the same brand and type of coolant as previously in the system you should be OK, but if you're making a transition, please flush your system completely.

As for recommendations, I usually buy the Nulon Green concentrate and buy a couple of bottles of distilled water at coles/woolies.

Sorry dont know the mix ratio, but you can get this at any Repco,Supercheap,Auto1 stores its fairly common. Again to stress what funkymonkey said, make sure you flush the old sustem out, it takes a while but make sure you do. It took me about 40mins for the dribbling to subside.

run the engine with a fresh supply of water and the drain plug open. There'll be coolant still in the engine that needs to be cycled out too.
