To which level should the coolant be added in the Nissan Sylphy?

The coolant filler port of the Nissan Sylphy is located at the white reservoir containing blue coolant. The coolant reservoir is marked with "MAX" and "MIN" indicators on its body, and the coolant should be filled up to the "MAX" level. More details about the Sylphy are as follows: 1. Overview: It is one of the most typical mainstream family sedans in the Chinese market (alongside models like the Skoda Octavia PRO, Volkswagen Sagitar, Volkswagen Lavida, Toyota Corolla, and Volkswagen Bora). Its fuel consumption ranges from 4.9 to 6.1L/100km, and it has a displacement of 1.6L. 2. Other features: It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine that complies with the China VI emission standards, delivering a maximum power of 99kW (135 horsepower) and a peak torque of 159Nm. The transmission system is paired with a CVT gearbox. It also features the new Nissan-Connect super-intelligent system and an external 8-inch HD capacitive touchscreen.
As an experienced driver, I always remind my friends that when adding coolant to the Nissan Sylphy, they must locate the translucent expansion tank in the engine bay, usually near the radiator. The tank has clear high and low water level marks labeled MAX and MIN. Before adding, make sure the engine is completely cooled—never risk adding coolant to a hot engine, as the hot water can spray out and cause burns. I always open the tank cap when the engine is cold and slowly pour in Nissan's genuine blue coolant or other compatible antifreeze, filling it just below the MAX line—don't fill it to the brim, leaving some room for expansion. Don't mix different colors of coolant, as this can cause clumping and block the system. I also recommend checking the coolant level regularly because low levels can lead to engine overheating and damage. A quick check every six months is ideal—it saves fuel and protects your car. Remember to wear gloves when handling coolant—safety first. A little prevention can save you from costly repairs.
