If the cooling system frequently requires
coolant, have it checked by your NISSAN
dealer.
CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT
● Major cooling system repairs should be
performed by your NISSAN dealer. The
service procedures can be found in the
appropriate NISSAN Service Manual.
● Improper servicing can result in reduced
heater performance and engine over-
heating.
WARNING
● To avoid the danger of being
scalded, never change the coolant
when the engine is hot.
● Never remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot. Serious burns
could be caused by high pressure
fluid escaping from the radiator.
1. Move the heater or air conditioner tem-
perature control to the maximum hot
position.
2. Open the radiator drain valve. Open the
drain plug on the engine block.
3. Open the radiator cap to drain the cool-
ant.
4. Flush the cooling system by running
fresh water through the radiator.
5. Close the radiator drain valve and drain
plug on the engine block securely.
6. See ‘‘Capacities and recommended
fuel/lubricants’’ in the ‘‘Technical and
consumer information’’ section for cool-
ing system capacity. Fill the radiator
slowly with the proper mixture of coolant
and water. Fill the reservoir tank slowly
up to the MAX level.
