*1: For further details, see “SAE Viscosity Number”.
*2: Never use API CG-4.
*3: Use Genuine Nissan Anti-freeze Coolant (L250) or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion w ithin the

Note that any repairs for the incidents within the engine cooling system while using non-genuine engine coolant may not be
covered by the warranty even if such incidents occurred during the warranty period.
*4: Contact a Nissan dealership for more information regarding suitable fluids, including recommended brand(s) of DEXRON
TM III/MER-
CONTM Automatic Transmission Fluid.
*5: Never mix different types of fluids (DOT 3 and DOT 4). Capacity (Approximate)

When drain all of engine coolant in the system, open water drain plug on cylinder block. Refer to
EM-82, "
CYLINDER BLOCK" .
3. Remove reservoir tank and drain engine coolant.
4. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration. If contaminated,
flush the engine cooling system. Refer to CO-10, "
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM" .
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install reservoir tank, and radiator drain plug.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean radiator drain plug and install with new O-ring.
If water drain plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer to EM-82, "CYLIN-
DER BLOCK" .
2. Fill radiator and reservoir tank to specified level.
Pour engine coolant through engine coolant filler neck
slowly of less than 2 (1-3/4 lmp qt) a minute to allow air
in system to escape.
Use Genuine Nissan Anti-freeze Coolant or equivalent
mixed with water (distilled or demineralized). Refer to
MA-17, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS".
3. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature with radiator cap installed.
4. Run engine at 3,000 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle speed.
Repeat two or three times.
CAUTION:
Watch water temperature gauge so as not to overheat the engine.
5. Stop engine and cool down to less than approximately 50°C (122°F).
Cool down using a fan to reduce the time.
If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with engine coolant.
6. Refill reservoir tank to “MAX” level line with engine coolant.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 5 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no longer
drops.
8. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
9. Warm up engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000
rpm with heater temperature controller set at several position between “COOL” and “WARM”.
Sound may be noticeable at heater unit.
10. Repeat step 9 three times.
11. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating steps 2 through 5 until engine coolant level
no longer drops.

FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water and reinstall radiator cap.
2. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
3. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
4. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
5. Drain water from the system. Refer to MA-20, "
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT" .
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.
Checking Cooling SystemELS000ZF
WARNING:
Do not remove radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns occur from high-pressure
engine coolant escaping from radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap and carefully remove the cap. First, turn the cap a quarter
of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn the cap all the way.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM HOSES
Check hoses for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
CHECKING RADIATOR
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as follows.
Be careful not to bend or damage radiator fins.
When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all surrounding parts such as cooling fan, radiator
shroud and horns. Then tape harness and connectors to prevent water from entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core vertically downward.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surface once per minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from the radiator.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically downward.
Use compressed air lower than 490 kPa (4.9 bar, 5 kg/cm2 , 71 psi) and keep distance more than 30 cm
(11.8 in).
5. Blow air again into all the radiator core surfaces once per minute until no water sprays out.
CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
1. Pull negative-pressure valve to open it and make sure that it
closes completely when released.
Make sure that there is no dirt or damage on the valve seat of
radiator cap negative-pressure valve.
Make sure that there are no unusualness in the opening and
closing conditions of negative-pressure valve.
2. Check radiator cap relief pressure.
When connecting radiator cap to radiator cap tester (commer-
cial service tool) and radiator cap tester adapter (special ser-
vice tool), apply engine coolant to radiator cap seal surface.
Replace radiator cap if there is an unusualness in negative-
pressure valve, or if the relief pressure falls below the limit.

Standard:

78 - 98 kPa (0.78 - 0.98 bar, 0.8 - 1.0 kg/cm

Limit:

59 kPa (0.59 bar, 0.6 kg/cm
