Radiator Flush D22 FRONTIER Nissan Navara Truck ZD30 Car or Other Vehicle | by JBManCave.com

If you get the problem of overheating on your D22 or ZD30 engine then you may want to consider if it is time for a radiator flush if you have been using cheap radiator fluid instead of genuine Nissan Radiator Fluid. Using the wrong radiator fluid in your engine can cause a build up of pressure / over heating and may even corrode your engine! Besides that it is good to flush old fluids out when the time is due and here you will see how I did it on my D22.

Do you use generic or stock based radiator fluids in your engine? In other words, if you have a Nissan vehicle do you ensure to only use Nissan brand radiator fluid?

[@UtahnUte]

Very helpful tips

[@JBsManCave]

Glad you think so!

Where is your fan shroud?

[@JBsManCave]

It was off during production: th-cam.com/video/ZNnmFtWR2aE/w-d-xo.html

How many liters does the radiator hold?

[@JBsManCave]

That is a good question. This is an extra large radiator so I will guess around 2 gallons (almost 8 liters).

You mentioned pressure build up in the engine. How would that manifest? I have a 2004 D22 and I have engine oil leaking out of the top half of the engine. The previous owner did a very bad job at replacing the radiator. It is too small, definitely not an original Nissan part and I wouldn’t be surprised if the radiator fluid is the cheapest kind too. The engine itself sounds fine, starts immediately and no smoke. Do you think it can be related?

[@JBsManCave]

The pressure build up will cause the radiator fluid to find a place to escape including busting the seals known as a blown head gasket. I have another video showing the large radiator I used as well as how I modified it. Yes, only use Nissan brand fluids which are specifically made for the vehicle. The cheap brands will lead to leaks.

@@JBsManCave Thank you! So, just to double check, it doesn’t result in an oil leak?

[@JBsManCave]

Broken seals or a crack in your block can result in an oil leak even a mixture of both oil and radiator fluid which is also a sign of this. Take your vehicle to a Nissan trained mechanic and get it accessed.

@@JBsManCave interesting! Thank you. I’ll have to keep an eye on the engine after I install a proper D22 radiator.
