The Nissan Path

Hi,

Radiator is a little low. What type of fluid?
Auto Trans needs a little. Same question.

Previous owner had it always serviced at the dealer if that helps answer.

Thank you,
Sean

Most Nissans up to 2010 use regular green anti-freeze; in 2010, Nissan started to use blue "long-life" antifreeze in some of their models before eventually switching over to blue in all of the models. If just topping off the system, most of your "universal" antifreezes are fine, like Prestone.

For the automatic transmission, use either Nissan Type "J" or "S" or an aftermarket ATF that is recommended for use in Nissan Type "J" or "S" applications. That includes Valvoline Maxlife ATF, Castrol Multi-import ATF and many of your synthetic ATFs. I service mine with Valvoline Maxlife ATF and never had any problems.

Cool, thanks. I bought the Castrol Multi Import today. I was worried it was too generic. I only need a little bit to make up for what was lost during the bypass.

Nissan Type "S" ATF and Castrol Multi-import ATF are the same thing. Castrol makes Nissan Type "S" ATF for Nissan.
