: 18 - 21 N´m (1.8 - 2.2 kg-m, 13 - 15 ft-lb) Right side
2. Fill coolant up to the top of the radiator mouth. While filling,
tighten each air bleeding plug from where coolant overflows.
Fill in the coolant again up to top of the mouth.
3. Reservoir tank with coolant up to the MAX level and install
radiator cap.

: 6.7 - 7.9 N´m (0.68 - 0.81 kg-m, 59 - 70 in-lb)
Use Geniune Nissan anti-freeze coolant or equivalent mixed
with demineralized water/distilled water.
For coolant mixture ratio, refer to ªRECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND

Reservoir tank capacity (for MAX level):
0.6(5/8 US qt, 1/2 Imp qt)
Pour coolant through coolant filler neck slowly to allow air in
system to escape.
4. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
5. Run engine at 3,000 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle
speed.
IRepeat 2 or 3 times.
Watch coolant temperature gauge so as not to overheat the
engine.
6. Stop engine and cool it down.
ICool down using a fan to reduce the time.
7. Remove the radiator filler cap and check coolant level.
IIf necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with coolant.
8. Refill reservoir tank to Max line with coolant.
9. Repeat steps 4 through step 8 two or more times.
10. Warm up engine, and check for sound of coolant flow while
running engine from idle up to 3,000 rpm with heater tempera-
