coolant nissan note

[spikeer]

The question may seem stupid to some people, but this is my first car and I am learning everything about it. I have a 2010 Nissan Note 1.4.

I believe the coolant level in my car is very low. Can I simply buy any coolant and top it up, or should I go to a mechanic to have it replaced?

Kind regards,

You can pop to Halfords and get some universal coolant (pre-mixed to the correct quantity) and top up the tank
However, there should be a min-max markings on the tank and should be topped to just below max when the engine is cold

Thank you for your answer.I went to Halfords, but they didn't have universal coolant. Instead, I bought the one recommended by Halfords, which is the OAT pink coolant.
I just came back, and I am currently waiting for the engine to cool down. It appears that the coolant tank is empty, and I have no idea what color was used by the previous owner.
Could there be any potential damage if it turns out that the previous owner used a different color coolant?"

The colour is not an issue but the type is (all coolants now are of the OATS type)
