Inspection

INFOID:0000000007579991

LEVEL 

• Check that the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the

“MIN” to “MAX” when the engine is cool.

• Adjust the engine coolant level if necessary.

CAUTION:

Refill Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or
equivalent in its quality mixed with water (distilled or deminer-
alized). Refer to 

MA-10, "Fluids and Lubricants"

.

LEAKAGE

• To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with the

radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) (A) and the radiator
cap tester adapter (commercial service tool) (B).

WARNING:

Never remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns
may occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping from
engine cooling system.

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.

Draining

INFOID:0000000007579992

WARNING:

• Never remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns may occur from high-pressure engine

coolant escaping from radiator. 

• Wrap a thick cloth around the radiator cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a turn to release built-up pres-

sure. Then turn it all the way.

Connect drain hose.
• Use a genera-purpose hose with the dimensions show in the

2.

Open radiator drain plug (A) at the bottom of radiator, and then
remove radiator cap. 

CAUTION:

Perform this step when engine is cold.
• When draining all of engine coolant in the system, open water

drain plugs on cylinder block. Refer to 

EM-68, "Setting"

.

3.

Remove reservoir tank if necessary, and drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing.
Refer to 

CO-14, "Exploded View"

.

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"

.

5.

Disconnect drain hose.

Refilling

INFOID:0000000007579993

CAUTION:

• Do not reuse O-rings.
• Do not put additive such as waterleak preventive, since it may cause cooling waterway clogging.
• When refilling use Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent in its quality

mixed with water (distilled or demineralized). Refer to 

MA-10, "Fluids and Lubricants"

.

1.

Install reservoir tank if removed, and install 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-68, "Setting"

.

2.

Check that each hose clamp has been firmly tightened.

3.

Remove air duct (suction side). Refer to 

EM-25, "Exploded View"

.

4.

Disconnect vacuum hose break booster side, and removal vacuum tube from clamp. Refer to 

BR-37,

"Exploded View"

.

5.

Disconnect heater hose (1) at position (

) in the figure.

• Enhance heater hose as high as possible.

6.

 Fill radiator (1) to specified level.

CAUTION:

Never adhere the engine coolant to electronic equipments
(alternator etc.).
• Pour coolant slowly of less than 2   (2-1/8 US qt, 1-3/4

Imp 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.

- When connecting radiator cap to the radiator cap tester (commer-

cial service tool) (A) and the radiator cap tester adapter (commer-
cial service tool) (B), apply engine coolant to the cap seal surface. 

• Replace radiator cap if there is an unusualness related to the above three.
