Nissan Coolant

[Modena]

I was told by my family friend mechanic to get some Nissan coolant from the dealer for my skyline... he said that most stuff at shops are not going to be suited for the turbo skyline.

Anyone know how much they charge for coolant at Nissan Dealers?

Cheers.

wtf? can't be serious..its coolant.

Can anyone chip in?

If buying a non Nissan dealer coolant, what coolant would you recommend for GTST R33?

Nulon's Long Life Green is works good. 5 years protection and only $20 for enough concentrate (2.5L) to do almost any car. Also Castrol's Radicool is worthy.

Coolant should be changed every 20,000 km's or every 1-2 years. Despite what manufacturers say. A low glycol concentration will destroy the internals of the cooling system in the engine. Also any decent quality coolant is ok as long as its mixed to the correct concentration for that particular engine...Your family mechanic isnt a sales person for nissan spare parts is he? lol

Well if its guaranteed for say 5 years, why change it out so early for besides having an empty wallet? Its the additives in the coolant (eg anticorrosion, antifoam, alkaline buffers etc) that deplete over the time. Some of the glycol breaks down into acid (and thus depletes the alkaline buffers) but its not the glycol that provides the 'protection' as such. But this would have been factored into the interval that the coolant is specified for.
