Topping off antifreeze
 
Hey guys Im low on coolant and need to top it off. What should I use??? Should I go to Nissan and have em rip me off for the same stuff thats in it? Or will it be fine to mix another brand in with it?? I know a whole bunch of you have had to do this, hit me with some suggestions, thanks.

I have never seen it leak anything. Im at the low line. I was surprised at the level myself.

Are you looking at that line with the engine hot or cold?

It was shortly after I drove it. Although I guess it could have cooled down. After I posted I realized it may just have been cause it cooled down. Got worried too fast!

I've had my Z for 3 weeks and 1,200 miles...just went outside and checked and my coolant level is just above the min line.

are you supposed to check the coolant with the engine cold or hot?
