2019 Nissan Maxima Coolant

Coolant, as it relates to vehicles, is constantly a liquid or gas substance used to regulate the temperature of your engine. Liquid coolants are usually half water and half ethylene glycol. Water is used to transfer heat while ethylene glycol is used to lower the chilly point of the liquid. In colder climates, this is extremely big. Interestingly enough, this isn't the first time you've heard of ethylene glycol as it is the primary ingredient in the popular term "antifreeze". Keep in mind, you never want to pour antifreeze or water by themselves into your engine system. They need to be combined to create the tolerable coolant.

You can purchase ready-made mixtures of coolant that already have water increased, or you can purchase full-strength antifreeze which needs to be diluted with distilled water before being increased to the engine system. Give the experts at Courtesy Nissan of Tampa a call at 8138291813 or schedule service online and let one of our technicians and service advisors handle your coolant flush.

It is troublesome to do your research if you plan to buy, flush, or replace the coolant in your automobile. Countless models will not be compatible even with "universal" coolants or antifreeze.

How long does 2019 Nissan Maxima coolant last?

How mostly you need to flush and replenish your vehicle's coolant relies on the type of coolant. There are different types of coolants. Interestingly enough, up until the mid-1990s there was basically only a single type of coolant. It was a green formula coolant that contained corrosion inhibitors that only lasted between 24,000 - 36,000 miles or between two to three years. This type of coolant is not recommended for newer vehicles which come equipped with a longer-lasting coolant.

Newer coolants use an Organic Acid Technology (OAT) and last up to twice as long as older coolant. In some cases these long-life coolants can last over 5 years or 100,000 miles.
