Murano FWD V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2006)
^
Enhance heater hose as high as possible.
5. Fill radiator, and reservoir tank if removed, to specified level.
^
Pour engine coolant through engine coolant filler neck slowly of less than 2 L (2 - 1/8 US qt, 1 - 3/4 Imp qt) a minute to allow air in system
to escape.
^
Use NISSAN Genuine Engine Coolant or equivalent mixed with water (distilled or demineralized).
Engine coolant capacity (With reservoir tank at "MAX" level): Approximately 9.6 L (10 - 1/8 US qt, 8 - 1/2 Imp qt)
Reservoir tank engine coolant capacity (At "MAX" level): 0.8 L (7/8 US qt, 3/4 Imp qt)
^
When engine coolant overflows disconnected heater hose, connect heater hose, and continue filling the engine coolant, if heater hose is
disconnected.
6. Install air duct assembly.
7. Install radiator cap.
8. Warm up until opening thermostat. Standard for warming-up time is approximately 10 minutes at 3000 rpm.
^
Make sure 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.
11. Repeat steps 5 through 9 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no longer drops.
12. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
13. Warm up the engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000 rpm with heater temperature
controller set at several position between "COOL" and "WARM".
^
Sound may be noticeable at heater unit.
14. Repeat step 13 three times.
15. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating step 5 through 9 until engine coolant level no longer drops.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
NOTE: When engine coolant is drained from radiator only, step 2, 3 and 5 are unnecessary.
1. Install reservoir tank if removed, and radiator drain plug.
Radiator drain plug: 0.78 - 1.56 Nm (0.08 - 0.15 kg-m, 7 - 13 inch lbs.)
If water drain plug on cylinder block are removed, close and tighten them.
2. Remove air duct assembly.
