Simple question.

They say it's best to raise Rogue while draining the coolant. I wasn't planning to do the whole shebang. As a matter of fact, I was just going to do the top-off.
I do not care if I do the procedure to an exact T.

Just want to drain a bit and flush a few bottles of distilled water. Then add coolant.

I will look at the D-I-Y in here to guide me also.

Since I have no ramps, I would like to park half my Rogue on top of a curb. Should I park the left side or right side?

Hence the best side to drain the most if that is possible.

I don't really care if I get all the coolant out, I just want to do a step above the topping off option.

Thanks. :help:

I would say the right side on the curb as the drain plug is on the left side, this should get all of the rad empty.

i didnt do this car, but i did my maxima when i replaced my radiator. the passenger side has the drain plug. if you drive it up a curb, you will not get all of the fluid out; but it should be fine. half a cup to a full cup wont matter much if you do the flush a couple times using distilled water.

just dont forget to run the car with the radiator cap OFF, to get all of the bubbles & air pockets out.
