FOR NORTH AMERICA : Anti-Freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio

INFOID:0000000009722374

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a pre-diluted mixture of 50% Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) and 50% water to provide year-round anti-freeze and coolant protection. The anti-
freeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional engine cooling system additives are not nec-
essary.

WARNING:

• Never remove the radiator or coolant reservoir cap when the engine is hot. Wait until the engine and

radiator cool down. Serious burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from the radia-
tor.

• The radiator is equipped with a pressure type radiator cap. To prevent engine damage, use only a

genuine NISSAN radiator cap.

CAUTION:

• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Cool-

ant (blue) or equivalent. Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is pre-diluted to pro-
vide antifreeze protection to -34

°

F (-37

°

C). If additional freeze protection is needed due to weather

where you operate your vehicle, add Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) concen-
trate following the directions on the container. If an equivalent coolant other than Genuine NISSAN
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is used, follow the coolant manufactur's instructions to maintain
minimum antifreeze protection to -34

°

F (-37

°

C). The use of other types of coolant solutions other

than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent may damage the engine
cooling system.

• Mixing any other type of coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue),

including Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (green), or the use of non-distilled water will
reduce the life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.

*1: For additional information, see “SAE Viscosity Number”.

*2: Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant (blue) or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion within the
engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant.

Note that any repairs for the incidents within the engine cooling system while using non-genuine engine coolant may not be
covered by the warranty even if such incidents occurred during the warranty period.

*3: Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2. Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT fluid NS-2 will damage the
CVT, which is not covered by the warranty.

*4: DEXRON™ VI type ATF may also be used.

• 10W-30 is preferable.

5W-30 is also preferable and will improve fuel economy.
If 10W-30 or 5W-30 is not available, select the viscosity, from the
chart, that is suitable for the outside temperature range.

FOR MEXICO : Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio

INFOID:0000000009722377

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality,
year-round and extended life engine coolant. The high quality engine
coolant contains the specific solutions effective for the anti-corrosion
and the anti-freeze function. Therefore, additional cooling system
additives are not necessary.

CAUTION:

• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genu-

ine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalent in its quality with
the proper mixture ratio. See the examples shown right.

The use of other types of engine coolant may damage the
engine cooling system. 
• When checking the engine coolant mixture ratio by the coolant

hydrometer, use the chart below to correct your hydrometer reading (specific gravity) according to coolant
temperature.
