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 plugs on cylinder block are removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-253,
"ASSEMBLY" .
2. Make sure that each hose clamp has been firmly tightened.
3. Remove air relief plug on heater hose.
4. Fill thermostat housing and reservoir tank to specified level.

Refill engine coolant up to filler neck of thermostat housing.

Pour engine coolant through engine coolant filler neck slowly of less than 2 (2-1/8 US qt, 1-3/4
Imp qt) a minute to allow air in system to escape.

Use Genuine Nissan Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant or equivalent mixed with water (distilled or
demineralized). Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .

When engine coolant overflows air relief hole on heater hose,
install air relief plug.
5. Install radiator cap.
6. Warm up until opening thermostat. Standard for warming-up time is approximately 10 minutes at 3,000 rpm.

Make sure thermostat opening condition by touching radiator hose (lower) to see a flow of warm water.
CAUTION:
Watch water temperature gauge so as not to overheat engine.
7. 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 engine coolant up to filler neck of thermostat housing.
8. Refill reservoir tank to “MAX” level line with engine coolant. Radiator drain plug:
: 1.19 N·m (0.12 kg-m, 11 in-lb)
PBIC1530E
Engine coolant capacity
(With reservoir tank at “MAX” level):
Approx. 10.0 (10-5/8 US qt, 8-3/4 Imp qt)
Reservoir tank engine coolant capacity
(At “MAX” level):
0.8 (7/8 US qt, 3/4 lmp qt)
