Nissan Almera Coolant Malaysia — Long-Life Antifreeze
Almera uses Nissan long-life coolant (blue/green). First change at 20,000 km or 4 years, then every 2 years. Never top up with tap water — Malaysia's tap water has minerals that accelerate corrosion. Almera thermostat and water pump are generally reliable; watch for coolant level drops as an early sign of a leak.
