CO-8 < PERIODIC MAINTENANCE > ENGINE COOLANT PERIODIC MAINTENANCE ENGINE COOLANT Inspection INFOID:0000000011279699 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-11, "Fluids and Lubricants" CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS • To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system using suit- able tools (A/B). WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Seri- ous burns could occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly push down and turn it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by pushing it down and turning it all the way. CAUTION: • Perform this step when the engine is cold. • Do not spill engine coolant on drivebelt. • Higher test pressure than specified may cause radiator damage. NOTE: • If engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator with engine coolant. Refer to • If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
