August 7, 20232 yr The question may seem stupid to some people, but this is my first car and I am learning everything about it. I have a 2010 Nissan Note 1.4. I believe the coolant level in my car is very low. Can I simply buy any coolant and top it up, or should I go to a mechanic to have it replaced? Kind regards, spikeer
August 7, 20232 yr You can pop to Halfords and get some universal coolant (pre-mixed to the correct quantity) and top up the tank However, there should be a min-max markings on the tank and should be topped to just below max when the engine is cold
August 8, 20232 yr Author Thank you for your answer.I went to Halfords, but they didn't have universal coolant. Instead, I bought the one recommended by Halfords, which is the OAT pink coolant. I just came back, and I am currently waiting for the engine to cool down. It appears that the coolant tank is empty, and I have no idea what color was used by the previous owner. Could there be any potential damage if it turns out that the previous owner used a different color coolant?"
