PRECAUTIONS
3. Attach liquid gasket tube to the tube presser (commercial ser-
vice tool).
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
4. Apply liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location with
the specified dimensions.
If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply liq-
uid gasket to the groove.
As for the bolt holes (B), normally apply liquid gasket inside
the holes. Occasionally, it should be applied outside the holes.
Check to read the text of service manual.
Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.
If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
Never retighten after mounting bolts and nuts the installation.
After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill
engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe them.

ENGINE COOLANT
ON-VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
ENGINE COOLANT
InspectionINFOID:0000000003793166
LEVEL
Check if the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the “MIN”
to “MAX” when the engine is cool.
Adjust the engine coolant level as necessary.
LEAKAGE
To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with the
radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) (A) and radiator cap
tester adapter (commercial service tool) (B).
WARNING:
Never remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns
could occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping from
radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher test pressure than specified may cause radiator dam-
age.
NOTE:
In a case that engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator with engine coolant.
If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
DrainingINFOID:0000000003793167
WARNING:
To avoid being scalded, never change engine coolant when the engine is hot.
Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap and carefully remove radiator cap. First, turn radiator cap a
quarter of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn radiator cap all the way.
1. Remove engine under cover.
2. Open radiator drain plug (1) at the bottom of radiator, and then
remove radiator cap.
When draining all of engine coolant in the system, open water drain plugs on cylinder block. Refer
to EM-110, "
Disassembly and Assembly".
3. Remove reservoir tank as necessary, and drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing.

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".
RefillingINFOID:0000000003793168
1. Install reservoir tank if removed, and radiator drain plug.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring.
If water drain plugs on cylinder block are removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-110, "
Dis-
assembly and Assembly".
2. Check that each hose clamp has been firmly tightened.
3. Remove air duct assembly and air cleaner cases (upper and lower) assembly. Refer to EM-26, "
Exploded
View".
4. Disconnect heater hose (1) at the position ( ) in the figure.
5. Fill radiator, and reservoir tank if removed, to specified level.
CAUTION:
Never adhere the engine coolant to electronic equipments.
(alternator etc.)
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.
When engine coolant overflows disconnected heater
hose, connect heater hose, and continue filling the engine
coolant.
Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalent in its
quality mixed with water (distilled or demineralized). Refer
to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants". Tightening torque : Refer to CO-13, "
Exploded View".
