Mixing any other type of coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) , including Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (green), or the use of nondistilled water will reduce the life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.

I read this to say that you shouldn't expect to get 100K miles out of your coolant if you mix it with anything other than the Nissan blue coolant. I'm definitely not going to use the cheap stuff in my garage, so I guess I'll wait until Monday to pick some up at the dealer.
Good find bud
