2019 Nissan Altima Coolant
Coolant, as it relates to vehicles, is typically a liquid or gas substance used to regulate the temperature of your engine. Liquid coolants are generally half water and half ethylene glycol. Water is used to transfer heat while ethylene glycol is used to lessen the charming point of the liquid. In colder climates, this is highly generous. Interestingly enough, this isn't the first time you've heard of ethylene glycol as it is the main ingredient in the prominent 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 suitable coolant.
You can purchase ready-made mixtures of coolant that already have water extra, or you can purchase full-strength antifreeze which needs to be diluted with distilled water before being extra to the engine system. Give the veterans at Crown Nissan of Greenville a call at 8647540067 or schedule service online and let one of our technicians and service mentors handle your coolant flush.
Every vehicle manufacturer, including Nissan has developed its own coolant or requires a clear-cut coolant that is unique to personal years and models. There are frequent colors of coolants to help distinguish each including blue, red, purple green, yellow, and orange. It is difficult to do your research if you plan to buy, flush, or replace the coolant in your car. Many models will not be legal even with "universal" coolants or antifreeze.
