1998 NISSAN PATROL coolant temperature

Anti-freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio
The engine cooling system is ®lled at the factory with a high-quality,
year-round, anti-freeze coolant solution. The anti-freeze solution
contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Therefore, additional cooling
system additives are not necessary.
CAUTION:
When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only an eth-
ylene glycol anti-freeze with the proper mixture ratio. See the
following examples:

The use of other types of coolant solutions may damage your
cooling system.

4. Remove cylinder block drain plug located at left rear of cylin-
der block.
5. Drain coolant and install reservoir tank, cylinder block drain
plug and radiator drain plug.
6. Fill radiator with water and warm up engine.
7. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
8. Repeat step 2 through step 7 two or three times.
9. Drain water.

10. Install reservoir tank, radiator drain plug, and cylinder block
drain plugs.
+Apply sealant to the thread of cylinder block drain plug.
Cylinder block drain plug:
:34-44Nzm (3.5 - 4.5 kg-m, 25 - 33 ft-lb)
11. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with coolant up to the MAX level
and install radiator cap.
For coolant mixture ratio, refer to MA-11.

Pour coolant through coolant ®ller neck slowly to allow air in
system to escape.
12. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
13. Run engine at 2,000 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle
speed.
+Repeat 2 or 3 times.
Watch coolant temperature gauge so as not to overheat the
engine.
14. Stop engine and cool it down.
+Cool down using a fan to reduce the time.
15. Remove the radiator ®ller cap and check coolant level.
+If necessary, re®ll radiator up to ®ller neck with coolant.
16. Re®ll reservoir tank to Max line with coolant.
17. Repeat step 12 through step 16 two or more times.
18. Warm up engine, and check for sound of coolant ¯ow while
running engine from idle up to 2,000 rpm with heater tempera-
ture control set at several positions between COOL and HOT.
+Sound may be noticeable at heater water cock.
19. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating
steps 12 through 16 until coolant level no longer drops.
+Clean excess coolant from engine.

6. Install all injection nozzles with Tool and securely connect fuel
spill tube and delivery tubes.
7. Bleed air from fuel system and check for fuel leakage with
engine running.
Injection nozzle to cylinder head:
:59-69Nzm (6.0 - 7.0 kg-m, 43 - 51 ft-lb)
Spill tube nut:
:39-49Nzm (4.0 - 5.0 kg-m, 29 - 36 ft-lb)
Injection tube:
:20-25Nzm (2.2 - 2.5 kg-m, 16 - 18 ft-lb)
Checking Idle Speed
Inspection should be carried out with gears in ``Neutral'' and
with air conditioner and other electrical loads off.
1. Warm up engine until engine coolant temperature indicator
points to the middle of gauge.
2. Attach a diesel tachotester's pick-up to No. 1 fuel injection tube.
3. Race engine two or three times and check idle speed.
