Correct type of Coolant

Does anyone know the correct coolant for a 03? I recently purchased a 03 sedan and when checking the coolant (Blue) it seemed a bit low. Could I just top it off? BTW I have no idea what kind of coolant is in there now.

Thanks.

Others can chime in, but it sounds like Nissan AF you got it there. Best bet IMO is probably to grab some from the dealer and top 'er up with the same if you're not sure. Or if it's only a small top-up you could just add some distilled water.

If you aren't sure, and are capable, you could fulsh and replace with new so you know what is in there. I would stick with oem or go with Zerex Asian formula (recommended by the folks at Bob is the oil guy.

I would rather not flush it if I dont have to..... But that seems the most reasonable solution.

I know some vehicles come with the blue coolant and its fine to mix in green. Plus alot of coolant is able to be mixed with whatever other coolant there is. It'll say on the jug.
