If you're talking about the Nissan green, we've been a bit less than impressed with the stuff. A sizable number of the newer VQ35s and VQ37s will seep coolant externally from the head gaskets if the car has been running the green stuff. On the other hand, you pretty much never see it on the cars that are running the Nissan blue pre-mix. Our friends at the local dealer tell us that they have the same observations.
Lets change my "purple" to "blue" and we are spot on.
