Nissan Latio Coolant Malaysia — Long Life Antifreeze
Latio uses Nissan long-life coolant (LLC). First change at 20,000 km or 4 years, then every 2 years. Never top up with plain water — Malaysia's tap water minerals cause scale buildup inside the cooling system. HR15DE water pump and thermostat are generally reliable through 120,000+ km. Watch for coolant level drops as an early indicator of a weeping radiator or hose.
