The Nissens performed excellently in 115F for the last 2 summers before the drain plug went. IMO, order a spare drain plug, or don't use the plug at all when doing coolant changes and remove the hose instead.

Wow, a week into the car running after installation the "Nissens" started leaking from the drainplug area. Now I am going to have to reinstall a "Behr" unit....should have known better from the start...gosh darnit....return it...more fluid...what an ultimate expensive lesson.
