First, I tried searching through the FSM and on here, perhaps I overlooked something but I can't seem to find any mileage intervals for periodic maintenance on the thermostat/water pump or the drive belt and auto tensioner. I saw that the maintenance booklet says to just inspect the deflection of the belt then replace as necessary after approximately 60k (miles). I'm used to my Z32 that has set mileage intervals regardless of wear, is there anything like that on the versa? I just hit 50k and was going to just do a bunch of preventative items.
Second, Coolant. I saw that the FSM shows some pressurized device to add coolant to the system once drained? Is that just supposed to be some special way to make burping the system easier if you have the means? I want to change the coolant so can I not just fill the radiator up and jack the nose of the car up, gravity fill the radiator then just burp the system by the conventional means?
Finally, this is the list of things I was going to change/inspect for the "50k maintenance". If anyone has any suggestions as to what I should add or remove, lets hear it.
- Change clutch and brake fluid
- Change manual transmission fluid
- Cabin air filter
- Clean K/N drop-in engine filter
- Inspect wheel bearings and brakes
- Replace drive belt and auto tensioner
- Change engine coolant
- Planned on replacing the serpentine belt and tensioner unless it still looks good
Thanks for the help in advance.
