It should be OK...Acura/Honda Blue, Toyota Red, or Nissan Green.

Make sure to flush out the system with distilled water first to get the green stuff out. Otherwise the blue stuff and green stuff can cause competing chemistry which won't be entirely good for the system.

Anybody know anything about Subaru-Green? Like Nissan, Honda, Toyota, etc, Subaru recommends you use OEM fluid in their engines for all the reasons we know. I just bought a gallon to top off the system on the Subaru, but obviously have a lot left over...paid $23/gallon for it. Was thinking of using it in the Max/Infiniti next time i change the coolant. Going by the color, it looks like Nissan OEM coolant. Thoughts?
