ever, use Genuine NISSAN gear oil as soon as it is available.
*3: If Genuine NISSAN ge ar oil is not available, API GL-4, Viscosity SAE 75W-80 may be used as a temporary replacement. However
use Genuine NISSAN gear oil as soon as it is available.
*4: If Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF is not available, Genuine NISSIAN Matic D ATF may also be used. Using automatic transmission
other than Genuine NISSAN Matic S or Genuine NISSIAN Matic D ATF will cause deteri oration in driveability and automatic transmis-

8. Continue to draw the vacuum until the gauge reaches 28 inches of vacuum. The gauge may not reach 28 inches in high altitude
locations, use the vacuum specifications based on the altitude
above sea level.
9. When the vacuum gauge has reached the specified amount, disconnect the air hose and wait 20 seconds
to see if the system loses any vacuum. If the vacuum level drops, perform any necessary repairs to the
system and repeat steps 6 - 8 to br ing the vacuum to the specified amount. Recheck for any leaks.
10. Place the coolant container (with the refill hose inserted) at the same level as the top of the radiator. Then
open the ball valve on the refill hose so the coolant will be drawn up to fill the cooling system. The cooling
system is full when the vacuum gauge reads zero.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the coolant container to get too low when filling, to avoid air from being drawn into
the cooling system.
11. Remove the Tool from the radiator neck opening.
12. Fill the cooling system reservoir tank to the specif ied level and install the radiator cap. Run the engine to
warm up the cooling system and top up the system as necessary.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Install reservoir tank if removed. Refer to CO-16, "Component".
2. Install radiator drain plug. •If water drain plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer to EM-90, "
Disassem-
bly and Assembly".
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean radiator drain plug and install with new O-ring. Refer to CO-16, "
Component".
3. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water and reinstall radiator cap.
4. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
6. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
7. Drain water from the cooling system.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.
