● Do not allow coolant to spill on the drive belts.
5. When performing a complete cooling system drain (to remove the engine or for engine repair), remove the
cylinder block front drain plug and the cylinder block RH drain plug.
6. Check the drained coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration.
● If contaminated, flush the engine cooling system. Refer to CO-12, "FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM" .
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install the radiator drain plug. If the cooling system was drained completely, install the reservoir tank and
the cylinder block drain plugs.
● The radiator must be completely empty of coolant and water.
● Apply sealant to the threads of the cylinder block drain plugs. Use Genuine High Performance Thread
Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-45, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants" .
2. If disconnected, reattach the upper radiator hose at the engine side.
3. Set the vehicle heater controls to the full HOT and heater ON position. Turn the vehicle ignition ON with
the engine OFF as necessary to activate the heater mode.
4. Install the Tool by installing the radiator cap adapter onto the
radiator neck opening. Then attach the gauge body assembly
with the refill tube and the venturi assembly to the radiator cap
adapter.
5. Insert the refill hose into the coolant mixture container that is
placed at floor level. Make sure the ball valve is in the closed
position.
● Use Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-freeze coolant or equiv-
alent, mixed 50/50 with distilled water or demineralized water.
Refer to MA-10, "
ANTI-FREEZE COOLANT MIXTURE
RATIO" .
6. Install an air hose to the venturi assembly, the air pressure must
be within specification.
CAUTION:
The compressed air supply must be equipped with an air
dryer.
7. The vacuum gauge will begin to rise and there will be an audible hissing noise. During this process open
the ball valve on the refill hose slightly. Coolant will be visible rising in the refill hose. Once the refill hose is
full of coolant, close the ball valve. This will purge any air trapped in the refill hose.
