I would like to know a detailed procedure to remove and replace the coolant on a 2003 Nissan Frontier, KA24DE.

I am concerned about any possible air pocket issues like I have read about on the S13, I believe, that has a bleeder plug.

In addition, I saw this article that is very interesting: http://nicoclub.com/archives/how-tomain ... 240sx.html

Quoting a part:

"Also: Coolant / antifreeze is used to lubricate the water pump, prevent corrosion, prevent cavitation and prevent freezing.

I HIGHLY recommend using distilled water in your cooling system to prevent buildup and deposits.

I also recommend using less coolant / antifreeze than typically is called for. For warm climates, I prefer

70% distilled water,
30% coolant, and
a bottle of Redline Water Wetter.

For colder climates, you can increase the coolant-to-water ratio, but there’s no need to exceed a 50/50 mixture.

Also, changing your coolant annually will ensure you never have an overheating issue."

THANKS

On my '04, I just added a bottle of flush and followed the instructions on the bottle. Then multiple radiator drains and refills with distilled water. Then a final refill with concentrated coolant to get it back to the correct ratio. If you don't mess with the block drain plugs, I think you have a better chance of avoiding air pockets.

Here is the procedure to drain, flush, and refill coolant on 240SX.

1. Move heater “Temp” control lever all the way to “Hot” position.
2. Remove undercover.
3. Open drain plug at the bottom of the radiator, and remove radiator cap.
4. Remove drain plug on cylinder block.
5. Close drain plug and tighten drain plug securely.
6. Open air relief plug (right above where the upper radiator hose attaches to the engine). <<<<<< does the KA24DE (frontier, 2003) have a air relief plug ? ??????? don't see it
7. Fill radiator with water and close air relief plug and radiator cap.
8. Run engine and warm it up sufficiently.
9. Rev engine 2 or 3 times under no-load.
10. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
11. Repeat step 2 through step 9 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.
12. Drain water.
13. Open radiator cap and air relief plug. <<<<<< does the KA24DE (frontier, 2003) have a air relief plug ? ??????? don't see it
14. Fill radiator with coolant up to specified level.
15. Close air relief plug. <<<<<< does the KA24DE (frontier, 2003) have a air relief plug ? ??????? don't see it
16. Remove reservior tank, drain coolant, then clean reservior tank.
17. Install reservior tank and fill it with coolant up to “Max” level and then install radiator cap.
18. Run engine and warm it up sufficiently.
19. Rev engine 2 or 3 times under no-load.
20. Stop engine and cool it down, then add coolant as necessary.
