how to flush a coolant on an 07 versa manual?

[rick o]

I know the basic steps but what are the steps on a versa?

Anyone done this procedure yet? My versa is 100k+?
Does the coolant in the block have to be drained out?

Thanks!

Thank you. This online manual rocks!

My question is for people who were changing coolant recently. Since it impossible to reach Coolant drain plug on a cylinder block, is it enough to drain radiator and reservoir tank or should I run the engine for a few seconds after this to drain the remaining coolant from inside the engine??? How much coolant can I drain by that way? All 6.8 litres or less? Or maybe it is useless…?
And about radiator drain plug. I saw just a little screw-type plug without any tap, not so practical and will make messy hands. Does somebody know any trick to do it right?

pour about 2 cups of lime away into the radiator. drive it for 2-3 days. then Drain all you can. start the car. jam a GARDEN HOSE into the radiator cap and let it run for about a 45m/hour. then .. Drain out the water by about a gallon. Add coolant to create the correct mixture.. top of with water.. Drive for a day or two and check the radiator water level. top off as needed.

Just did mine at about 110K.

Mine is already due too, maybe I'll spice up the the mixture with water wetter if the temps keep rising.

Do Versas use "normal" antifreeze? THe green kind,not the weird gold or red stuff other cars use?

They have a long life blue they use in the new cars, use the green or blue.
