Thanks for the video, I managed to do it on a flat surface, didn't even need to jack up the car, as there is enough clearance under to slide the bucket, and the fluid won't start flowing until you open the top cap. I also did not need to "burp" / air purge as instructed. All I did was run the car to normal operating temp, drive uphill / downhill, let it cool down again. Opened the cap and completed fluid, very little air went to the top.
I enjoy this 2007 Versa. My 6'3" frame fits fine. Perform air purging / "burping" by steps. Place front of car up on Jack's or mimic this by working on a driveway incline. Get a Lisle 24680 spill free funnel ( or Chinese variant on Amazon ). On a cool radiator, now set up the funnel on the radiator inlet. Pour some coolant so some of it sits in the funnel. Now get the car to operating Temperature. Place foot on gas pedal at ~1800 rpm to speed it along. When you get to 192*F , both radiator hoses should be equally warm/hot. Squeeze radiator hoses and or " goose "/ rev the gas pedal 3-5 times in effort to move air out of system. Let your engine idle for 10 minutes. Plug your funnel, & move it to drain funnel in reservoir. Burping done.
should u open the radiator plug first then drain coolant? i see several other videos teaching open plug first, but i saw u opened coolant drain first and then opened plug, just to clarify thanks
I like to open the drain plug before the top end radiator cap. The reason being is you will have less flow initially, therefore less chance of spill on yourself and floor when opening the drain plug. If you open the top end radiator cap first, then the drain plug, it will be like a full open flow to be released. Hope this helps.
thats what I saw and it perfectly makes sense to open drain plug first, but after reviewing 10 more other videos u were the only guy opening drain plug first. I honestly feel it as a much better way for less spill but just want to verify that i won't cause damage. thanks bug u did a great job@@Hulkmartell
Yes always, but I realize that was not included in my tutorial. Thank you. For those of you how need to know how to purge the air. If you do not have overflow plugs in the cooling system like this 2011 Nissan did not, then follow these steps after filling the radiator with new fluid. 1.leave radiator cap off, fill to neck line of radiator with fluid 2.turn vehicle on and allow to reach normal temperature. (You’ll see air bubbles come out) 3.turn off vehicle 4. Top off radiator with fluid 5. Close radiator. If you have plugs to purge air, please follow your manufacturers instructions. Please be safe and never open radiator cap after vehicle is already hot as you can burn yourself.
If you want to absolutely purge all old fluid then cycling it out of the heating system is a necessary step, but you would have to fill and drain more than once to ensure all old fluid has been drained. This was a simple drain and refill, which in theory will combine the old fluid into the new fluid.
Great video, content, but plz remember to record horizontal. Vertical video is a sin, you know. Yeah. It's in The Bible... O.k. No it's not, but it's terrible video etiquette.

What's that black box called on the right next to the upper air intake

Carlos Gonzalez see your owners manual or chilton manual. I wouldn’t know I’m sorry
@@edgeorgie1922 I used yellow

Unplug the battery?
You didn't bleed the system or flush the heater core that was a drain and fill without bleeding out the air
What about the fluid in the heater- is it not correct to open the heater controls to allow all that to drain out?
If you want to absolutely purge all old fluid then cycling it out of the heating system is a necessary step, but you would have to fill and drain more than once to ensure all old fluid has been drained. This was a simple drain and refill, which in theory will combine the old fluid into the new fluid.
@@Hulkmartell Thanks Marty- I have just done a drain and fill this time after seeing your video. Your video is helpfu.l

Matthew Williams I hope the TH-cam bible gives forgiveness for TH-cam rookies like myself. Lol. Thanks!
@@dadbodstandards2503, you will be allowed to live, just this once. Lol! 😆
You did not flush the system you just changed the fluid. So you cant call it a flush.
I appreciate your response. You are correct, But that is why my title says drain and fill.
this is stupid he keeps saying radiator and it is not
Thank you for constructive criticism!
Did u purge the system for air?
No
