Nissan Maxima Owners Manual: 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 protection. 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 escaping from
the radiator. For additional information
on precautions, refer to "If your vehicle
overheats" in the "In case of emergency"
section of this manual.
- The radiator is equipped with a pressure
type radiator cap. To prevent engine
damage, use only a Genuine
NISSAN radiator cap.
CAUTION
- Never use any cooling system additives
such as radiator sealer. Additives 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 protection to -34
F (-37 C). If additional freeze protection
is needed due to weather where you
operate your vehicle, add Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant
(blue) concentrate following the directions
on the container. If an equivalent
coolant other than Genuine NISSAN
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is
used, follow the coolant manufacturer's
instructions to maintain minimum antifreeze
protection to -34 F (-37 C). The
use of other types of coolant solutions
other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent
may damage the engine 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), including
Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (green), or the use
of non-distilled water will reduce the
life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.
For additional information, refer to
the "Maintenance and schedules" section
of this manual.
