Type of coolant to buy for 2008 EX35 Journey?

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

I just noticed that my coolant tank is empty. Went to the dealer last week for full inspection and oil change but they didnt tell me that my coolant tank was empty. I'm surprised that they missed such basic checkup. I'm not sure how long it's been empty but looks like the tank is dry to the bone. I wonder if they actually do what they say they did. :mad:

anyway, can someone tell me what kind/type and where I can buy coolant for my EX35?

Thanks.

Sorry to hear you have to go through this horrible experience.
Two things will save u LOTS of money in this situation:

1) Nissan Dealer
2) ESM - Electronic Service Manual (Some call it FSM not sure if the "F" stands for Field either way its a Service Manual.). I ordered my disc from the Infiniti website. Others will offer up web locations here on Nico and whatnot but that is how I got mine.

There are 19 - steps involved in "Filling Coolant". Lucky for you I stored the ESM on my home server and have time to access it for your benefit. :)
Here are a few steps in the screenshot to ans your question: Basically all u need is a visit to your friendly neighborhood Nissan Dealer... :inoutgay: Gud Luk.

PS: ... and dont forget the distilled/demineralized water from a grocery store not tap water and no bottled drinking water.

Thanks, Picked up a gallon at the Nissan dealer ship. They asked me "green" or "blue", I got the "green" stuff.
$24.99 + Tax
