2020 Nissan Rogue: Coolant Capacity & Type

The 2020 Nissan Rogue holds between 7.1 and 8.3 quarts (6.7 and 7.9 liters) of coolant, depending on the engine and drivetrain configuration.

Quick answer

• Total cooling system capacity: 7.1 to 8.3 quarts (6.7 to 7.9 liters)
• OEM coolant spec: Nissan Blue Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (OAT, PN 999MP-L25500P)
• Mix ratio: 50/50 with distilled water

Capacity by engine option

Flush interval

• Normal duty: Replace every 105,000 miles or 7 years, whichever comes first.
• Severe duty: Replace every 60,000 miles or 5 years, whichever comes first.

How to refill & bleed

1. With the engine cool, remove the radiator cap and coolant reservoir cap.
2. Place a drain pan under the radiator and open the drain plug.
3. Once drained, close the drain plug and fill the radiator with a 50/50 mix of Nissan Blue Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant and distilled water.
4. Fill the coolant reservoir to the "MAX" line.
5. Start the engine and let it run with the radiator cap off until the cooling fans cycle on and off. This will bleed the air from the system.
6. Top off the radiator and reservoir as needed.
7. Replace the radiator cap and reservoir cap.

Note: Some technicians prefer to use a spill-proof funnel or a vacuum-fill tool to prevent air from entering the system.

Common cooling system issues

• Radiator leaks: The radiator is a common source of leaks on the 2020 Nissan Rogue. Look for signs of coolant leakage, such as puddles under the car or a low coolant level.
• Water pump failure: The water pump is another common source of leaks. Look for signs of coolant leakage from the weep hole on the water pump.
• Thermostat failure: A stuck thermostat can cause the engine to overheat or run too cool. If you notice the temperature gauge reading higher or lower than normal, have the thermostat checked.
