    Cool Re: Nissan cabstar engine

    They're not crap engines; it's probably not been looked after.

    For example: did you know that it's imperative you drain your cooling system every five years to renew the antifreeze content?

    Antifreeze doesn't lose its' anti freeze properties over time but it does lose it's anti corrosion properties causing many cooling system problems including head gasket failure.
