3. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration.
If contaminated, flush the engine cooling system. Refer to CO-10, "
Flushing".

1. Install reservoir tank if removed, and radiator drain plug.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring. Refer to CO-13, "
Exploded View".
If water drain plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer to EM-107, "
Disassem-
bly and Assembly".
2. Check that each hose clamp is firmly tightened.
3. Remove air relief plug (1) on heater hose.
4. Fill radiator, and reservoir tank, to specified level. Pour engine coolant through engine coolant filler neck
slowly of less than 3 (2-5/8 lmp qt) a minute to allow air
in system to escape.
Use Genuine NISSAN Long Li fe Antifreeze/Coolant or
equivalent mixed with water (dis tilled or demineralized).
Refer to MA-10, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
5. When engine coolant overflows air relief hole on heater hos e, install air relief plug with clamp. Then refill
radiator with engine coolant.
6. Install radiator cap.
7. Install reservoir tank cap.
8. Warm up engine until opening thermostat less than 3,000 rpm. Check thermostat opening condition by touching radiat or hose (lower) to see a flow of warm water.

Fluids and LubricantsINFOID:0000000006220904
*1: For further details, see “Engine Oil Recommendation”.
*2: Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and autom atic
transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by the INFINITI new vehicle limited wa rranty.
*3: DEXRON™ VI type ATF may also be used.
*4: Available in mainland U.S.A. through an INFINITI dealer.
*5: Using transfer fluid other t han Genuine NISSAN Transfer Fluid will damage the transfer , which is not covered by the INFINITI new
vehicle limited warranty. See an INFINITI retailer for recommended transfer fluid.
*6: For hot climates, Viscosity SAE 90 is suitable for ambient temperatures above 0 °C (32 °F)
*7: See an INFINITI dealer for service for synthetic oil.
*8: Using Hydraulic Suspen sion fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Hydraulic Susp ension fluid will damage the Hydraulic Suspension,
which is not covered by the INFINITI new vehicle limited warranty. See an INFINITI retailer for recommended hydraulic suspensio n fluid.
*9: The fluid capacity is the reference value.
Engine Oil RecommendationINFOID:0000000006287732
NISSAN recommends the use of an energy conservi ng oil in order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API) certification and International Lubri-
cant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) ce rtification and SAE viscosity standard. These oils
have the API certification mark on t he front of the container. Oils which do not have the specified quality label
should not be used as they could cause engine damage.

If water drain plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer to EM-107, "Disassem-
bly and Assembly".
2. Check that each hose clamp is firmly tightened.
3. Remove air relief plug (1) on heater hose.
4. Fill radiator, and reservoir tank, to specified level. Pour engine coolant through engine coolant filler neck
slowly of less than 3 (2-5/8 lmp qt) a minute to allow air
in system to escape.
Use Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant or
equivalent mixed with water (d istilled or demineralized).
Refer to MA-10, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
5. When engine coolant overflows air relief hole on heater hose, install air relief plug with clamp. Then refill
radiator with engine coolant.
6. Install radiator cap.
7. Install reservoir tank cap.
8. Warm up engine until opening thermostat less than 3,000 rpm. Check thermostat opening condition by touching radiator hose (lower) to see a flow of warm water.
CAUTION:
Watch water temperature gauge so as not to overheat engine.
9. Stop the engine and cool down to less than approximately 50 °C (122 °F).
Cool down using fan to reduce the time.
If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with engine coolant.
10. Refill reservoir tank to “MAX” level line with engine coolant if necessary.
11. Repeat steps 6 through 10 two or more times with reservoir tank cap installed until engine coolant level no longer drops. : 1.96 N·m (0.2 kg-m, 17 in-lb)
