ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a pre-diluted mixture of 50% Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/ Coolant (blue) and 50% water to provide year-round antifreeze and coolant pro- tection. The antifreeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional engine cooling system additives are not necessary.
WARNING
•Never remove the radiator or coolant reservoir cap when the engine is hot. Wait until the engine and radiator cool down. Serious burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escap- ing from the radiator. For additional information on precautions, see “If your vehicle overheats” (P. 6-13).
•The radiator and coolant reservoir are equipped with a pressure type ra- diator cap. To prevent engine dam- age, use only a Genuine NISSAN ra- diator cap.
CAUTION
•Never use any cooling system addi-tives such as radiator sealer. Addi- tives may clog the cooling system and cause damage to the engine, transmission and/or cooling system.
•When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent. Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is pre- diluted to provide antifreeze protec- tion to -34° F (-37° C). If additional freeze protection is needed due to weather where you operate your ve- hicle, add Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) concen- trate following the directions on the container. If an equivalent coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is used, fol- low the coolant manufacturer’s in- structions to maintain minimum an- tifreeze protection to -34° F (-37° C). The use of other types of coolant so- lutions other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent may damage the en- gine cooling system.
•The life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant is 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or 7 years. Mixing any other type of coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) (or equivalent coolant), including Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (green), or the use of non-distilled water may re- duce the life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.
