Is the Murano's antifreeze long-lasting?

Murano's antifreeze is not long-lasting and needs to be replaced every three years or 60,000 kilometers. The antifreeze reservoir of the Murano is located on the left side of the engine, with a replacement capacity of 4L. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing during cold winter parking, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack and damage the engine cylinder block. Its full name is antifreeze coolant. The Murano is a mid-size SUV under Dongfeng Nissan, with dimensions of 4897mm in length, 1908mm in width, and 1691mm in height, a wheelbase of 2830mm, a 5-door, 5-seat SUV body type, and a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 7 gears).

As a long-time owner of the Murano, I've found its coolant to be typically long-lasting. My vehicle's manual states it can last 5 to 10 years, which is quite durable. However, long-lasting doesn't mean never needing replacement. Through regular checks, I've learned that neglecting to change it can lead to engine overheating or internal rusting, resulting in more expensive repairs. Last time I forgot to replace it beyond the recommended interval, the engine temperature warning light came on, and I had to rush to a professional shop for service. I recommend everyone check their manual to confirm the specific type—usually, it's green or pink in color. If it's clear, it's normal; if cloudy, it needs replacement. Coolant isn't just for preventing freezing; it also helps dissipate heat and prevents corrosion. A small step in daily maintenance can lead to a big leap in safety.

I have some knowledge about automotive technology. The Murano's factory coolant typically uses long-life organic acid technology (OAT) based formulas, which can last about 100,000 miles, containing antioxidants and anti-corrosion additives. Its lifespan depends on driving conditions: slower degradation in cold northern regions, while high temperatures in the south accelerate aging. Never mix different brands as chemical reactions may cause failure. Regularly check freezing points or observe color changes - keeping it clear is sufficient. When replacing, choose OAT-compatible products for cost-effectiveness and peace of mind.

Safety first. Although the Murano's coolant is long-lasting, it needs to be replaced regularly, typically every five years. Failing to replace it in time increases the risk of pipe bursts or engine damage, which can lead to breakdowns while driving. The manual recommends checking the coolant level and color every two years. Replace it if the color becomes light or if there are impurities. Don't cut corners to save trouble, or you might end up spending a fortune on engine repairs.
