2020 Nissan NV Cargo NV1500 Coolant

Coolant, as it relates to vehicles, is frequently a liquid or gas substance used to regulate the temperature of your engine. Liquid coolants are ordinarily half water and half ethylene glycol. Water is used to transfer heat while ethylene glycol is used to lower the freezing point of the liquid. In colder climates, this is exceedingly essential. This undoubtedly 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 mixed to design the correct coolant.

You can purchase ready-made mixtures of coolant that already have water added, or you can purchase full-strength antifreeze which needs to be diluted with distilled water before being added 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 mechanics and service consultants handle your coolant flush.

Every vehicle manufacturer, including Nissan has developed its own coolant or requires a precise coolant that is unique to individual years and models. There are many colors of coolants to help distinguish each including purple yellow, green, blue, red, and orange. It is vital to do your research if you plan to buy, flush, or replace the coolant in your vehicle. Multiple models will not be compatible even with "universal" coolants or antifreeze.
