3. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration.
If contaminated, flush the engine cooling system. Refer to CO-10, "
Flushing".

1. Install reservoir tank if removed, and radiator drain plug.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring. Refer to CO-13, "
Exploded View".
If water drain plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer to EM-107, "
Disassem-
bly and Assembly".
2. Check that each hose clamp is firmly tightened.
3. Remove air relief plug (1) on heater hose.
4. Fill radiator, and reservoir tank, to specified level. Pour engine coolant through engine coolant filler neck
slowly of less than 3 (2-5/8 lmp qt) a minute to allow air
in system to escape.
 Use Genuine NISSAN Long Li fe Antifreeze/Coolant or
equivalent mixed with water (dis tilled or demineralized).
Refer to MA-10, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
5. When engine coolant overflows air relief hole on heater hos e, install air relief plug with clamp. Then refill
radiator with engine coolant.
6. Install radiator cap.
7. Install reservoir tank cap.
8. Warm up engine until opening thermostat less than 3,000 rpm.  Check thermostat opening condition by touching radiat or hose (lower) to see a flow of warm water.

ENGINE COOLANT
Watch water temperature gauge so as not to overheat engine.
9. Stop the engine and cool down to less than approximately 50 °C (122 °F).
 Cool down using fan to reduce the time.
 If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with engine coolant.
10. Refill reservoir tank to “MAX” level line with engine coolant if necessary.
11. Repeat steps 6 through 10 two or more times with reservoir tank cap installed until engine coolant level no longer drops.
12. Check cooling system for leakage with engine running.
13. Warm up the 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.
14. Repeat step 13 three times.
15. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating step 4, and steps from 6 to 14 until engine
coolant level no longer drops.

1. Install reservoir tank if removed, and radiator drain plug. CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring. Refer to CO-13, "
Exploded View".
If water drain plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer to EM-107, "
Disassem-
bly and Assembly".
2. Remove air relief plug (1) on heater hose.
3. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water until water spills from the air relief holes, then close air relief
plugs with clamp. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water and reinstall caps.
4. Run the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Rev the engine two or three times under no-load.
6. Stop the engine and wait until it cools down.
7. Drain water from the system. Refer to CO-8, "
Draining".
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 until clear water begins to drain from radiator. : 1.96 N·m (0.2 kg-m, 17 in-lb)
