Hi All

I am new onto this forum and certainly a non car mechanic :-) I currently own a Nissan Qashqai N-Connecta 2016. I currently have blue coolant in my coolant, if i purchase the pre mix Nissan L248 coolant which is green in liquid and top up and mix colour. Will this affect the performance of the car or is it perfectly safe to do this please?

Thanks

Matt

You have a brand new car. If I needed a top-up of the coolant I would take it to the dealer and instruct them to do it.

Minimum when hot or cold? If it needs topping up then take it to the dealer under warranty as it shouldn't have lost any coolant.
