Changing Engine Coolant
WARNING:
To avoid being scalded, never change the coolant when the
engine is hot.
— DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT —
Heater
1. Set heater system as follows to prevent coolant from remain-
ing in the system.
●
Move temperature control dial all the way to “HOT”.
Semi-automatic air conditioning
1. Set air conditioning system as follows to prevent coolant from
remaining in the system.
a. Turn ignition switch “ON” and enter a temperature of 32°C on
the heater control.
b. Wait 30 seconds before turning ignition switch “OFF”.
2. Disconnect lower radiator hose and remove radiator cap.
3. Remove reservoir tank, drain coolant, then clean reservoir
tank.
Install it temporarily.
●
Be careful not to allow coolant to contact drive belts.
4. Remove cylinder block drain plug and air relief plug.
5. Check drained coolant for contaminants such as rust, corro-
sion or discoloration.
If contaminated, flush engine cooling system.
Refer to “FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM”, MA-21.

6. Install lower radiator hose, reservoir tank and tighten cylinder
block drain plug securely.
●
Apply sealant to the thread of the cylinder block drain
plug.
: 34 - 44 N·m (3.5 - 4.5 kg-m, 25 - 33 ft-lb)
7. Fill up radiator with coolant at the speed of less than 3
(2-5/8
Imp qt)/min.
●
If coolant spills from the air relief hole without bubbles, rein-
stall the plug.
Air relief plug:
: 7 - 8 N·m (0,7 - 0,8 kg-m, 5,1 - 5,8 ft-lb)
Then pour coolant in again.
●
Use genuine NISSAN Anti-Freeze Coolant or equivalent.
Refer to “RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS”,
MA-16.

6.1 (5-3/8)
8. Fill radiator and reservoir tank to specified level.
9. Start engine without installing radiator cap and warm it up at
2,000 rpm until radiator lower hose becomes hot.
●
If coolant level becomes low, refill coolant until coolant level
does not change.
●
If coolant overflows radiator filler hole, install filler cap.
10. Run engine at 2,500 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle
speed.
●
Repeat 2 or 3 times.
Watch coolant temperature gauge so as not to overheat the
engine.
11. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
●
If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck.
12. Refill reservoir tank to Max line with coolant.
13. Repeat steps 9 through 12 two or more times with radiator
cap installed until coolant level no longer drops.
14. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
15. Warm up engine, and check for sound of coolant flow while
running engine from idle up to 3,000 rpm with heater tem-
perature control set at several positions between COOL and
HOT.
●
Sound may be noticeable at heater water cock.
16. If the sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by
repeating steps 9 through 12 until coolant level no longer
drops.

— FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM —
1. Open air relief plug.
2. Fill radiator with water until water spills from the air relief
hole. Then reinstall air relief plug.
Air relief plug
: 7 - 8 N·m (0.7 - 0.8 kg-m, 5.1 - 5.8 ft-lb)
Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water and reinstall radia-
tor cap.
3. Run engine and warm it up sufficiently.
4. Rev engine 2 or 3 times under no-load.
●
Make sure that blower fan is “OFF”.
5. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
6. Drain water.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 until clear water begins to drain
from radiator.
Checking Cooling System
CHECKING HOSES
Check hoses for proper attachment and for leaks, cracks,
damage, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
CHECKING RADIATOR
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator
as follows.
●
Be careful not to bend or damage the radiator fins.
●
When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all sur-
rounding parts such as cooling fan, radiator shroud and
horns. Then tape the harness and connectors to prevent
water from entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core
vertically downward.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surfaces once per
minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from the radia-
tor.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically down-
ward.
●
Use compressed air lower than 5 kg/cm
2
and keep distance
more than 30 cm (11.8 in).
5. Blow air again into all the radiator core surfaces once per
minute until no water sprays out.
Checking Radiator Cap
Apply pressure to radiator cap with cap tester to see if it is sat-
isfactory.
Radiator cap relief pressure:
Standard
78 - 98 kPa
(0.78 - 0.98 bar, 0.8 - 1.0 kg/cm
2
, 11 - 14 psi)
Limit
59 - 98 kPa
(0.59 - 0.98 bar, 0.6 - 1.0 kg/cm
2
, 9 - 14 psi)

●
When installing radiator cap to the tester, apply water or
coolant to the radiator cap seal.
Pull the negative-pressure valve to open it. Check that it closes
completely when released.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
Apply pressure to the cooling system with cap tester to check for
leakage.
Testing pressure:
157 kPa (1.57 bar, 1.6 kg/cm
2
, 23 psi)
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than the specified value may cause damage
to radiator.
Checking Fuel Lines
Inspect fuel lines and tank for improper attachment and for leaks,
cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
If necessary, repair or replace faulty parts.
CAUTION:
Tighten high-pressure rubber hose clamp so that clamp end
is 3 mm (0.12 in) from hose end.
Tightening torque specifications are the same for all rubber
hose clamps.
Ensure that screw does not contact adjacent parts.
