2002 NISSAN TERRANO engine coolant

Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality,
year-round and extended life engine coolant. The high quality
engine coolant contains the specific solutions effective for the anti-
corrosion and the anti-freeze function. Therefore, additional cooling
system additives are not necessary.
CAUTION:
IWhen adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only
Genuine Nissan Anti-freeze Coolant (L2N) or equivalent.
Because L2N is premixed type coolant (Mixture ratio 50%).
The use of other types of engine coolant may damage your
cooling system.
IWhen checking the engine coolant mixture ratio by the coolant
hydrometer, use the chart below to correct your hydrometer
reading (specific gravity) according to coolant temperature.

WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from
the radiator. Wait until the engine and radiator cool down.

2. Before installing new oil filter, clan the oil filter mounting surface
on cylinder block and coat the rubber seal of the oil filter with
a little engine oil.
3. Install oil filter.
When installing oil filter, screw it in until a slight resistance is
felt, then tighten an additional 2/3 turn or more.
4. Add engine oil.
Refer to Changing Engine Oil.
Changing Engine Coolant
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being scalded, never attempt to change
the coolant when the engine is hot.

Checking Cooling System
CHECKING HOSES
Check hoses for proper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose
connections, chafing and deterioration.
CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
Apply pressure to radiator cap by means of a cap tester to see if it
is satisfactory.
Radiator cap relief pressure:
78-98kPa
(0.78 - 1.0 bar, 0.8 - 1.0 kg/cm
2, 11 - 14 psi)
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
Apply pressure to the cooling system by means of a tester to check
for leakage.
Testing pressure:
98 kPa (0.98 bar, 1.0 kg/cm
2, 14 psi)
CAUTION:
Higher than the specified pressure may cause radiator dam-
age.
Checking and Replacing fuel filter and Draining
Water
Be careful not to spill fuel in engine compartment. Place a rag
to absorb fuel.
REPLACING FUEL FILTER
1. Remove fuel filter sensor and drain fuel.

lock both front and rear wheels with wheel chocks.
5. Turn off air conditioner, lights and accessories.
IWarm up engine until water temperature indicator points to middle of gauge.
ILights, heater fan and all accessories are off.
IAttach tachometer's pick-up to No. 1 fuel injection tube.
In order to take accurate reading of engine rpm, remove clamps that secure No. 1 fuel injection tube.

Removal
WATER PUMP, ALTERNATOR AND AIR CONDITIONER
BELT
1. Remove radiator shroud.
2. Contract and hold the auto tensioner using the following proce-
dure.
a. Securely hold the 19 mm (0.75 in) hexagonal portion A of auto
tensioner with a closed wrench.
IPreferably use a tool with a handhold of 500 mm (19.69 in) or
more in length.
INo bolts or nuts are required to be loosened during the opera-
tion.
b. Turn the hexagonal portion A in the direction shown by the
arrow to contract the damper unit of the auto tensioner.
CAUTION:
IBecause the tensioner has a high tension, it shall be
securely held and turned with a closed wrench.
IBecause the hexagonal portion A of the tensioner is made
of aluminum and may be damaged by sudden input, turn
it slowly according to the contraction of the damper unit.
3. Remove the belt from the alternator pulley first, and then
remove it from the other pulleys.
IIf the tensioner is not held firmly, your finger may get caught
between the belt and the pulleys. Confirm the holding of the
tensioner, and then hold the belt side in the place away from
the pulleys to attach or remove the belt, paying attention to
prevent your finger from being caught.
CAUTION:
IWhen handling the belt, pay attention to prevent the oil or
coolant from adhering to the belt.
IDo not distort or bend the belt intensively.
Installation
IInstall the belt in the reverse order of removal.
IAfter installation of the belt, confirm that the belt engages the
pulleys securely.
IDepending on the engagement between the belt and the idler
pulley, noise (belt noise) may be heard when the engine is
started just after installation. This noise will stop with time.
Changing Engine Oil
WARNING:
IBe careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil is hot.
IProlonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may
cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact with
used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with
soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine com-
ponents.
2. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap.

2. Set theGmark of the filter body to the top position and dis-
charge the oil.
IReceive the oil discharged from the drain hose in a tray.
IAbout 500 cc (17.6 Imp fl oz) of oil will be discharged in about
3 minutes.
IThe oil is discharged from the oil catcher to under the vehicle
through the drain hose.
3. Remove the filter body, and then remove the oil filter element.
CAUTION:
IIf the engine oil gets on the engine or vehicle, thoroughly
wipe it off.
IThoroughly wipe off the oil remaining in the oil catcher.
(This is to prevent misidentifying oil leaking from the oil
catcher as oil leaking from the engine.)
4. Remove the O-ring from the filter body.
IPress the O-ring in any direction with your finger, and pull on
the portion of the O-ring separated from the filter body to
remove it.
CAUTION:
Because wire and screwdrivers may cause damage to the fil-
ter body, do not use such tools.
INSTALLATION
1. Thoroughly remove foreign matter adhering to the inside of fil-
ter body and O-ring mounting areas (of the body and oil cooler).
2. Install the oil filter element and O-ring to the filter body.
ISecurely press the oil filter element into the filter body.
3. Install the filter body.

4. After warming up the engine, check that no engine oil leaks.
Changing Engine Coolant
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being scalded, never change the cool-
ant when the engine is hot.
ÐDRAINING ENGINE COOLANTÐ

Coolant capacity (With reservoir tank):
10.6(9-3/8 Imp qt)
Reservoir tank capacity (for MAX level):
0.75(5/8 Imp qt)
Pour coolant through coolant filler neck slowly to allow air in
system to escape.
10. Install radiator cap.
11. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
12. Run engine at 2,000 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle
speed.
IRepeat 2 or 3 times.
Watch coolant temperature gauge so as not to overheat the
engine.
13. Stop engine and cool it down.
ICool down using a fan to reduce the time.
14. Remove the radiator cap and check coolant level.
IIf necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with coolant.
15. Refill reservoir tank to Max line with coolant.
16. Repeat step 9 through step 15 two or more times.
17. Warm up engine, and check for sound of coolant flow while
running engine from idle up to 2,000 rpm with heater tempera-
ture control set at several positions between COOL and HOT.
ISound may be noticeable at heater water core.
18. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating
steps 11 through 17 until coolant level no longer drops.
IClean excess coolant from engine.
