NWZ Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 If the coolant in my Zed is on minimum when cold but goes up to 3/4 when warm should I top it up to Max when the car is cold, or should I just leave it? I've been keeping an eye on this for a few weeks now, generally it has been showing 3/4 when cold as well. I bought some L250 coolant from Nissan so have that ready - can you just top this up neat - the guy at Nissan said you can... Thanks...Mark.

Trev-the-Rev Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Top it up to the max, but you may find that it will blow some of it off when it warms up. They normally find their own level so long as you don't have any leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWZ Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Topped it up now it's at least 1/4 of the MAX when the car is warm - will this be OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xStric9x Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Topped it up now it's at least 1/4 of the MAX when the car is warm - will this be OK? I have the same problem Mark, did you top it up neat afterwards? As yours mine is just above minimum when cold and just over half way when warm. I'm also finding my fan is kicking in after only a few mins of driving and i suspect this to be the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWZ Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 I topped it up neat to the max when cold. I did notice when warm it did rise over max by a couple of mm but nothing to worry about, and to be honest I think it's settled down and now stays on max. (Can't sleep so what else to do at 3.53 in the morning? Might go and apply another coat of tech wax... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
