The Nissan Altima was designed to be moderately sporty, somewhat well appointed, spacious, and efficient. This midsize and compact sedan consistently gets high marks for fuel economy from the EPA. For the engine to burn fuel efficiently, it must work at the proper temperature.

The cooling system is responsible for ensuring that the engine stays within the narrow range of maximum efficiency. An engine running too cold will run rich, and an engine running too hot will be damaged.

If your engine overheats, serious damage can occur, which may be fatal. So, it is important that your radiator be kept in perfect operating condition. The very nature of how a radiator works dictates its form, and that form is a flimsy one. The thin metals of the Nissan Altima radiator transfer their heat easily into the atmosphere, but they are also easily damaged. Be certain to change your coolant regularly and always use distilled water mixed with the antifreeze. Other waters contain minerals, which can precipitate out of the coolant and form deposits, which in turn clog up the radiator. A clogged radiator cannot function. The metal fins and thin tubing on the Nissan Altima radiator are vulnerable to all kinds of hazards that you encounter on the road. Animals, rocks, and sticks all can cause serious damage to a radiator. Even leaves caught in the grille can disrupt the airflow over the radiator, reducing its functionality. So examine your Nissan Altima radiator regularly, and replace it if is damaged.
