Another question is has anyone ever tried coolant other than genuine nissan?

P.S. no transmission/coolant leakage found, just being proactive/paranoid
Others would say flush, but I'd just change it. BUT, I'd suggest a flush if it's been a while past recommended time. It's been said it's not recommended to use water from a hose or tap as it's considered hard water. Doesn't matter to me as I've used tap water.

As for coolant, you can use Prestone... Peak or equivalent. GM uses an orange coloured coolant, so I'd stay away from that if you have access to it.
