Yes it would be applicable to X-Trails but you should start off by installing an aftermarket water temp gauge as the OEM gauge isn't very accurate. I learned the hard way, I suffered engine damage during a fun run when my radiator cracked and started releasing water and my water temp gauge never budged from the normal setting. I continued running at speeds over 200 with no more water circulating through the engine.

Go for it, but put in at least 25% coolant aside from the water wetter.

Just because it's stock doesn't exempt you from overheating. Sina Kai were telling me that in one of their fun runs they had a member whose car was completely stock and the radiator also had problems similar to mine. Yun nga lang your X-Trails are relatively new so the chances of that happening are lower. But why wait for something similar to happen di ba? It's better to be on the safe side.

I think its 500 for one bottle. 1 bottle should be enough for most passenger cars.

Yes and practically all OEM radiators are currently made from Aluminum.

Sorry bro I can't, medyo madaming problema. Tsaka sobrang hilo ako when I was Leo's passenger when we went to BRC. Kailangan talaga ako ang driver hindi pwede passenger.
