Antifreeze for the Nissan Qashqai

The Qashqai appears in Georgia in both European and Japanese versions, most of them with a CVT. The factory fluid is Nissan's blue Long Life Coolant, so your product is Valvoline Zerex Asian Blue.

Cooling system volume (litres) roughly six to seven litres

The CVT and the coolant depend on each other

On Nissan's CVT the oil cooler is often built into the radiator as a heat exchanger. In practice that means the coolant also governs the temperature of the CVT fluid.

If the radiator's internal passages clog with deposits, two things happen at once: the engine cools less effectively and the CVT fluid stays hotter. And a CVT is extremely sensitive to temperature.

Valvoline Zerex Asian Blue is silicate-free, borate-free and hard-water compatible. All three properties work against deposit formation.

European and Japanese Qashqais

Qashqais built in Europe sometimes left the factory with a different coolant colour than the Japanese versions. Colour does not determine chemistry, but it is still the first clue.

So before ordering, open the expansion tank on a cold engine and look at the colour. If it is blue or green, our product is in the right family. If it is something else, call us and we will look at the manual together.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy CVT fluid from you as well?
No, we sell coolant only. CVT fluid is a separate product with its own Nissan specification.
