    Nissan Pulsar 1984: Water or coolant?
    Answered by CarsGuide team · 8 December 2005

    COOLANT contains an antifreeze which protects the engine at low temperatures by preventing the coolant from freezing. It also raises the boiling point, giving you a little more safety at higher temperatures. Coolant contains a rust inhibitor which prevents corrosion on the cooling system. It's particularly important in alloy engines. Few engines, even older ones, had just water in the cooling system. They start out from the factory with a mix of water and a rust inhibitor. The only reason there might be straight water is if it has been topped up with water without any inhibitor. Regularly flush the cooling system and refill it with fresh coolant.

    Nissan Pulsar 1984: Can I use unleaded?

    I WOULD recommend using a fuel additive such as Valvemaster or Flashlube. They are available at your local servo and are easy to add to the fuel whenever you fill up.
