I am from Sri Lanka and I have 1993 Nissan Sunny (Sentra) FB13 Power Package. It previously had pre-mixed coolant. But a carburetor repair was done yesterday and the mechanic had to drain around 1 liter of coolant out the radiator before doing the repair. (No idea why though). Anyway, I bought a coolant called TCL and the guy who sold it to me said it does not need to be mixed with water. So I bought it and the mechanic didn't really check the coolant before putting it in my radiator. But I noticed it was a kind of thick coolant. When I checked the coolant bottle, it had different ratios of how coolant needs to be mixed with water (I know... It's my fault for not properly checking the bottle before buying it) Anyway, Is this going to hurt my car in anyway? Should I drain the radiator and buy a different coolant that is pre-mixed and fill the radiator and coolant reservoir with it? Your help is much appreciated. Thank you! 🙂
It’s never a good idea to mix different coolant types. I would drain out the present coolant, flush the radiator and then add in the premix coolant (provided its compatible with your engine).
Off topic, save me a string hopper tonight.

Thank you. The guy fixed my car in May said the coolant brand I had was either Seiken and if I ever wanted to refill, Wurth would be a good choice too...
Haha.... Are you from Sri Lanka or have you been here? 😀
I've been there a few times & love the food!
