FOR MEXICO: Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Nissan Pathfinder. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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 antifreeze function. Therefore, additional cooling system additives are not necessary.
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from the radiator. Wait until the engine and radiator cool down.
COOLANT MIXTURE RATIO
| Outside temperature down to | Composition | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| °C | °F | Engine coolant (concentrated) | Demineralized water or distilled water |
| - 15° | 5° | 30% | 70% |
| - 35° | - 30° | 50% | 50% |
CAUTION:
- When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalent in quality with the proper mixture ratio.
- The use of other types of engine coolant may damage your 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.
