Owner reviews for antifreeze

Pentosin Pentofrost

I use Peak, and I think they recommend the violet stuff.

Yes I had low coolant in my brand new CX-30 and had to top it off 2-3 times with the FL22 fluid (factory OEM). I think some air is left in the system that gets out over time. Since then no issue with the coolant level

I had my AC condenser replaced and looked at it in the parking lot and confirmed it was full of coolant, drove home, and it was low. I ordered and added some OEM coolant at home. It's been fine ever since

I work in Halfords and this happens quite often on imported or jap cars. The system will hold specifications for UK, your car (Nissan) will have jap spec coolant in it so you can do 1 of 2 things: 1- go to a mechanic and get it changed to something both suitable and readily obtainable, 2- go to Nissan for it

Now running a Valvoline 50/50 mix with no issues

By “air intake reservoir tank”, I assume you mean it’s the coolant tank for the water-air charge cooler. We need to know what car to tell if the coolant is suitable. That “G30” on the front is the important bit.

I just did my resivoir as well a few weeks ago; no clips broke, still have the original lines on. Used the new Motorcraft Yellow as well, like you've got. Car runs better than ever, and the heat/AC is extra responsive/changes when I touch the dial (instead of waiting five minutes to finally change).

It's fine. Just not as good, and will not last as long as the OEM coolant. Wait 3 years or so, and then flush and get OEM. Better get something out of it. It's still compatible.

Ford orange is no longer available and for good reason, it’s very closely related to GM’s Dexkill, it has tendency to become very acidic, or even worse gel up.
