Nissan Pre-Mix Green - It's what Matt H recommends for his engines.

I used this stuff, as it's ok to use it with any other coolant that may still be in the system:

Prestone Antifreeze coolant Ready to Use 4L red green blue mixes with all makes

TRIPLE QX Anti-freezeBlue Ready Mixed Antifreeze/Coolant - 5ltr iv tried a few on diffrent k11 so far but not this stuff will let u know, plus figured little post like this will help a few new readers

Right so I did some research apparently its for "classic or older cars" question is my expansion tank is empty and was wondering whether to fill it up with the tripple QX pre mixed or to empty everything and start a fresh any ideas?

I would flush and start fresh. Mines a 1994 and uses no water. Is your oil filler cap clean with out white creamy goo on it?

 

[Tech936]

Yeah everything's all good loovely n clean just noticed I hadent been keeping an eye on it?? bfut start fresh on nice n empty would be a good idea

Random question davey recon it will be fine to just dump it in? Or fresh from empty

Never changed the coolant in any of my cars. I check the strength of the coolant, then either dilute it, or put it in full strength.
Never had any problems doing that in nearly 50 years.
