- Coolant flush. Radiator Bleeder how to use it to ensure you have no air bubbles when flushing the coolant system on your VQ Motor.
How to flush a coolant system in your car DIY. How to fill coolant in car. Keep your radiator, heater core, and engine clean. Flushing your coolant is good for the cooling system to prevent rust and to stop your car from overheating. Engine cooling system flush and antifreeze fill, the easy way.
I show you the location of the bleeder air relief plug, which is a screw in the back of the engine bay for the radiator on a G35 or 350z.

Rumor is that he’s still up there bleeding his coolant system to this day.
Steven R. Lol mines taking days
Lmao.
Lol
His girlfriend at the time has since moved on and remarried. Has 2 lovely kids.
sucking more and more air into the system cause the cars at an angle
5 years later and your vid is still helping people. thanks got my g to finally stop overheating i think… great vid
You Sir, has explained the bleeding procedure the best of all. We thank you, we have a FX35 (2009) 178,000 miles, I love this vehicle, will never change it. Thank you. We are now a definite fan of urs. Be safe.
As long as you take care of an Infiniti/ Nissan these cars will last your forever
Ive been sitting here watching every single video you have posted! You sir are awesome! I found out more about my car today then the last 6 years I have owned it. Just crossed 68k miles on my 2005 G35 coupe.
niceee thats mint man i just hit 248k the other day lmfaooo still running strong
For any current 35 owners don’t attempt to do a radiator flush or any hose replacement if you don’t have a coolant system refill kit , chances are you can bleed it by the bleeder valve but will take you all day if not 2 , but at the end of the day there will always be air in the system if not vacuumed out
i diden bleed mine at all i just let is warm up and drove it and refilled it and afert 3 drives it was good and is ever since
Great video and much respect my man. Just a note- a radiator fitted funnel makes the bleeding process much quicker... I've done it multiple times on my G: the air will rise out of the funnel as you rev the motor and you can crack the bleeder valve intermittently to help
you got a name for that funnel ? i’ve been trying to look for one
@@fernandocarrillo9900 I just got mine yesterday from Amazon brand is Thorstone. Same as the OEMTools one but cheaper and had next day delivery. That's if your in the states. You can search "coolant funnel kit" Unless you already found one 👍
just got one earlier today from harbor freight for 30$ 🤝 my only question now is do i still follow the process of covering the valve cover, still do the rev up thing and wait for it to cool down?
@@notfuesh pretty sure it should go in and let air out as you rev it so if you need more you just put more in the funnle
Can't you get one at harbor freight?
A year old but still very helpful! My 350 was good to go after the first set of revs
Just drained and filled Coplant yesterday, then refilled.. was told “this car doesn’t need to be bled...” and that’s why I’m here😂😂 saw 250 degrees last night and I knew something was up
You know that you can clean that KnN air filter. At least you can use it as a backup when it's time to clean it
Thanks for being clear. Other videos made the process confusing
This is one of the most complete and effective videos I've ever seen on You-Tube! Thank you! I had only filled mine with AF to the bleed tuce once, never knew to do it 3 times!
Great landscapes & coolant bleeding well explained. Your patience helped me to bleed the small 1.5dci engine in my nissan. The heating core didnt work when I took it from the dealership. Now, after 3 rounds of bleeding with the front on a slope no more air in the system :-)
2 days n 2 nights later 😂😂 but those tail lights are flawless 😍
Great & informative video! Only thing i want to add is to remember to screw back the plug underneath BEFORE you start pouring coolant in so it doesn’t immediately drain and waste the bottle of coolant you got. I almost made this mistake and I’m sure others might as well.
Nah i got common sense
@@badquality4069 buddy we know you don’t even have a car
@@Notchilldude i have 3 lol
After I did my swap I had such an issue bleeding my coolant system the air would not come out till I had this brilliant idea. I took one of those hand pumps put the hose on the overflow tube come out with the other hose in the gallon of antifreeze and kept pumping and pumping till I knew for sure no air was coming out the bleeder valve. I kept getting air to the point it blew apart my bleeder valve. They break easy. If you need a bleeder valve you can use a piece that comes in the Preston coolant flush kit at Walmart works mint
Good to know!
I've watched about 20 videos about this today and yours was the most useful of them all so thank you.
Hey man this was a very awesome video my car was overheating suddenly so I decided to replace the thermostat and it was still over heating then I replaced the radiator and still over heating then I followed your instructions and the overheating went away. I believe either the thermostat or the radiator was bad but I guess I didn’t bleed it properly right after I replaced both of the parts but anyways my car has a new thermostat and new radiator now after 100k miles which is good cause they will go bad eventually but if it wasn’t cause of your video I would have probably replace the water pump or something else so thank you very much.
I’m currently here right now, either the car needs to be bleed correctly or I need to replace my water pump. I’m crossing my fingers it’s just the bleeding. Any updates? Did it ever over heat again?
August Arellano did you end up finishing?
Search Da One yes but didn’t wait to see if it would over heat again, I ran it for about a week and it was good then a friend kept bugging to sell it to him lol
@@augustarellano197 My overheat issue was due to radiator fan. If you can't feel it moving air when your looking down at the fan it is likely the cause. I was getting good readouts on my thermostat so quickly rules that out. Radiator fan is pretty common cause of overheating behind thermostat.
Nothing like finding a secluded public spot to work on your car instead or your own house👌🏻
That is the top floor of my garage. I live in a high rise condo, this is my house.
Motordyne G35 well shit. I guess that works too 😂
Motordyne G35 I’m a high school student and so the garage is usually filled with my parents cars and I don’t think the home owner association would like my jacked up car in the street, so I do some of my mods in like secluded parking lots and stuff like that.
You're the man bro. Keep doing what you do! Just remember 1 like of almost every video you make is me.
Good Video. Amazing how nice your car looks with 178,000 miles. Very nice. Thanks for the video.
Hey Bro Thank you for the DETAIL, clear instructions and visual. I have an 03 G35 sedan...I took 2 .5 weeks (after work hours) to grenade the dash and replace heater core, (whew!)....and replaced Thermo and radiator....I'm headed outside to follow this!
cool vid mate. very similar bleeding rb engines.[ like in my r32 skyline I had] only difference is. you could keep bleeder valve out ,when running the engine. to bleed. but same process you did. along process. and recheck when its cold. nice one. keep it coming
Thanks soo much! My car its not overheating anymore i did exactly how you did it and now its fixed! 👍🏼👍🏼
When the temperature gauge went up did the electric fans come on?
Thanks Man i appreciate it ! U helped me fix my friends G35
Fix what? What was wrong with it in the first place?
was it shutting of like mine?
I've been trying to figure out what I was doing wrong for days now, this helps so much
That's what I do but I do it with the engine running that way the fluid flows faster and you don't has to do this again and again , just make sure to refill the radiator reservoir to let the system fill with more fluid.
Great video! Definitely helped me with my G35. Never have I seen such a pain in the Azz system to refill and wouldn't have guessed the problem had I not seen this video. So, thank you!
Save me money that's man
Thanks man
You can just remove radiator cap (when cold)start car with cap off and full blast heater and watch all the air bubbles come out and have the car even not jacked up 👌
I have bled the system via the bleeder valve, but your method sounds WAY easier. Thanks for the tip!
So should the radiator be empty or put fuild in it and wait for the bubbles when doing this ?
Justin Mateo fill up radiator with fluid when engine is cold till u see its full then with the cap off start the car and then start the heater on full blast and just keep a eye on the radiator and keep adding fluid if needed and u should see air bubbles come out let it idle for a lil while you should know when its good then shut the car after u feel its done. top off the radiator and put the cap back on and you should b good check it next morning to b safe and thats it
I wonder how accurate this is? I plan on bleeding mine later today 🤔
@@isaiahzaylenocoleman7691 did it work for you asking cause I’m planning on doing it myself
Its a pain checking the bleed valve over and over, I do mine with a "no spill" funnel from the front radiator cap to bypass this problem. It mitigates having to constantly open and check the bleed valve. No air in the line either because the consistent fluid kept it tye funnel is gravity feed from the highest point on the engine. Just a future tip. My water pump is still clean never changed it
you used the funnel so you wont have to open the valve ? i dont wanna keep opening the valve 😂
Great job dude! Very helpful video! Didn't have 6 goes at it but thanks for the perfect how to video!! G35 FOR LIFE!
Saved the day ! Fx35 bosses up
very helpful video thanks! just finished after my 5th repeat :D
I have an 08 m35x and thinking about tackling this project soon.
Glad to hear that Prestone works (so tired of everyone saying to go to stealership for OEM fluids).
deasttn I been trying to bleed mine for days
I won't lie I didn't have a bleeder valve on my Infiniti but I went and bought one and put it on there and I can say one thing that you did do wrong you should have drain the coolant while the car was at ground level it would have drained more fluid
thank for this video.. you're patient and give us all details..
I only have 1 request in return. Make sure you tell that bitch NO. Trust me, she will love you later. It's another trick, but better than the radiator flush.
@@MotordyneG35 wtf LMAO
Dude wants to show off his little screen so bad😂
I don’t think letting your engine warm up before adding coolant is the best idea
whenever i turn the key to ON position, i hear the liquid flowing behind dashboard. however, my 350z has never overheated so would this still be required to do?
I have the same problem. Hopefully someone has an answer.
@@thedavemac23 it's air in the system. you gotta purge it out. to make it simple, buy a spill proof funnel with adaptors (costs around $25) and you'll have it burped out in matter of minutes
I’ve been looking for this answer for the longest time
Pedro Cruz should look up the g35driver forums. you would’ve found it on your first search
Great video brother, you are very attention to detail on what you do !
Thanks Bro🤝
You really have to squeeze the hoses to help get the air out of the system.
After bleeding and burping the system a bunch of times, my issue was a head gasket on my 2010 FX35 with 170K miles on it. Dropped off on Wednesday to do water pump, chains, and all gaskets, i guess i'll be picking it up next week sometime.
I drive with a blown head gasket. I just keep topping off weekly. Burp every 2 months depending on driving speeds.
I added coolant to the radiator but it doesn’t pass through the bleeder screw, what’s the issue? The radiator it already full
I’m having the same issue. Did you ever figure it out??
Lookin Good With those Black Gloves Yo!
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO.
more of a pain in the butt comparing to engine oil..
30 ads later ... very helpful tho!
So i did this process a few times and the car doesn’t overheat at all anymore but the heat on the car still doesn’t work. It only works very slightly when I’m holding the revs
Let's say we unbolt from place the radiator reservoir, and hold it up high while half way full. Then we turn the car on. Do you think this would bleed out the air properly? Idk, in my head it seems like it'll work
thank you man for you video you help me to much
Maybe do another review on radar detection
Thx. Clean job.
I used a spill-free yellow funnel to bleed my G35 Coupe’s system; hopefully, this worked.
Very nice and clean g35.
Like the video!! But that was a k&n air filter it's normally read the other one is some other brand?? They have cleaning kits you can buy, with soap and it cleans the filter and then you re-oil it. Don't need to spend money on a new filter?? It's reusable😮
Wow what an amazing g35 bro.great vid as always.
My g35 some times runs warm but only when im at a red light but when i start rolling it levels back to normal.i changed my thermostat to a Nismo thermostat and i replaced the bleeder valve all from Z1motorsports and ever since i had this over heating problem.i bled the system several times but still the same.i even bought one of them 40 dollar funnel kits.im really just tired of the g. Lol.might get a foxbody again
Are your radiator fans broke? Once the engine radiator temps hit 195-200 the electric fans kick on. This always happens when the car is not moving. Doesn't sound like a bleeder problem.
I bought a Nismo radiator cap that had the metal Nismo plate on top of the cap i took it off and for some reason it runs perfect
@@austinbradley3411 ...so you bought a nismo radiator cap and a nismo thermostat. Any particular reason you believe you need these? Your street car is not a race car. You do realize a nismo thermostat opens much sooner than an OEM thermostat and the nismo radiator cap increases pressure raising the boiling point. I choose not to run nismo thermostat and cap for a reason on my street car that is dyno tuned.
I thought the nismo cap making the car run cooler would be a good thing.I guess I wasted money on this thing again.thanks for your info
Its your fans
Get a bleeder funnel, fill it up & let the car run for 30 mins ......lot easier
Thanks for this video 👍
How long does it take to bleed out the coolant system. It’s day 3 so far for me and I’m lowkey concerned. I do have some mods for the cooling system (Nismo Thermostat, CSF radiator and Mishimoto fans). I only did these mods cause I live in Arizona and it easily get to 110 on the most random of days
Excellent video, good job using Prestone which is superior to the OEM coolant. Is this fill of coolant still in the car? If so, how is it doing? Maybe you could make a "revisit" video showing the coolant condition today.
I’m having the worst time bleeding this
Same bro
It sucks guys... but get a radiator fitted funnel it helps immensely
Should you leave the car running with the bleeder air open and add fluid and stop when fluid comes out of the bleed air hole while the car is running that way you only have to do it once?
Thx for this bro☮️
Hey Bro I got a Problem with my G35 Sedan. Can you help me.my temp gauge is going up and down. does that mean that I need to replace my thermostat, and water pump? I don't know what it could be. Do you have any clue
It means you have air in your system.
Thanks mine work now
So when the bleeder valve is full do you top it off until you see fluid in the radiator cap or is it already full once you see coolant in the valve?
It is already full once you see coolant in the bleeder valve.
I’m pouring the fluid with the bleeder valve and radiator cap open, so when I pour and the bleeder valve gets to the top, slowly after it goes back down, do I just keep pouring fluid slowly until it stops going down?
Hey just got a P0106 code on my 2012 g37, is this a common code and if so what usually causes it? (72000 miles) Thanks and love the vids 💪🏻
I think may be fuel pump
That plastic bleeder is an injury lawsuit waiting to happen! I had one explode on me when the engine was hot. Good thing I didnt get burned! Z1 motorsports has them made out of metal and I suggest anybody with a G35 or Z get one for the reliability alone which makes it safer!
I was actually going to order a new plastic 1 because of the o-ring, which I've never replaced. Thank you sir! I just placed my order from Z1....www.z1motorsports.com/cooling/z1-motorsports/z1-coolant-bleeder-port-heater-hose-p-11190.html
Be careful with the z1 bleeder valve mines the top part where u bleed it fron stripped out super easy.i cant get all the bubbles out my system but i only rev up 3000 rpms maybe the 10000 rpms will work great vid again
My bad 2000 rpms
You are spot on with your comments. I had to replace my 04 Z33 plastic bleeder valve to the Z1motorsports one because it was so brittle that it crumbled and broke of while removing the hose to do the Z1 Motorsports silicone hose kit.
The body on the Z1 motorsports is aluminum and the screw is brass with an o ring. Take your time screwing it in or you can strip the threads. The part cost under $30.00
Nice job
Help me out my 04 g35 6mt has been overheating I’ve already done the coolant flush bleeding, changed the temp sensor, thermostat I don’t know what else to do😢
pro tip if you can’t do it with jacks pack on a hill so your car is doing a 9 o clock wheele
Helpful!
Was the coolant reservoir to the max level when you were bleeding it ?
Hi what up motordyne.
Is this procedure flush a 100% of the old coolant?
Or you need to do something else to accomplish that.
Thanks for sharing. 👍
nice hopefully this is similar to my altima coupe vq35
Question...so my friend and I replaced the radiator and fluids and bleed it. I don’t remember if we went to the bleeder valve. Well...is it normal to have the radiator fluid reservoir tank filled PAST Max capacity? The thing is...I never filled it past Max ever. Thanks
I try to add antifreeze but i don't see nothing in the bleeder, like yours. Am I doing something wrong
Have the same rims. Konig crosshairs. 19s
Prestone coolant offers longer life, but FSM says change every 48,000km or 2 years.
What’s your coolant replacement interval?
Great video as always. Speaking of the undershield, im due for a replacement. Do you recommend a specific one? The OEM one is trash.
Order a metal one from Toll Booth Willey
Z1 Motorsports has a really nice one as.well
Thanks guys i appreciate it. The one on Z1 motorsports is pretty sick. Do you guys have one yourself thats aluminum or metal? Any rattling noises?
@@vgyvgoiy ..No rattling noises. Mine is from TBW which stands for toll booth willey. It is powdercoated black and is aluminum. Jon in Vegas had these shields first before z1. If you are old enough, you will know toll booth willey is from an old Adam Sandler skit which is hilarious. That was Jon's name on the fourms before he started his business and he kept his screen name for the business.
Motordyne G35 Thanks alot!
Do i take off the reservoir to clean it and then after i bleed it do i just fill the reservoir to the max when done with everything?
You can clean ur reservoir, then reinstall it.. then you can now proceed on filling coolant and bleeding process.. yes put it in btwn min and max lvl after the process
Spill free funnel after the 1st bleed.
Great video - Thanks for posting it! Question: Was flushing the coolant part of bleeding the system or did you just need to replace old coolant?
I already have good coolant in my car, but need to bleed the air in the system. I'm wondering if I need to flush my good coolant first before doing the air bleed.
You don’t need to
Nice G Channel , following
You'll have to bleed it through the radiator fill hole let it burp the bubbles till you only see coolant flowing in your funnel
Would it be a bad idea to do this while having an exhaust leak? Just wondering, since my Z is both overheating and i have to get the ehxaust leak fixed.
So I did this and added the first gallon. 2 quarts at a time every minute like you said until came up the bleeder valve close bleeder valve and radiator cap and warmed up to normal running temperature reved to 3000 rpm 10 sec 3 times waited for it to cool down check the bleeder valve and it was topped up from first try temperature gauge stayed normal until took it out for a drive temperature gauge went up what should I do ?
Did u ever find out?? I'm having similar provlems
Did you only add the first gallon? If so after the car cools down you should be able to add the other gallon then do the start up, plus rev to 3k, bleed procedure and then you should be good bro
Great video. Bleeder screw same location on maxima 3.5l? Thanks
This makes me buy back my Acura rsx I can’t believe you have to do all this just to change the radiator cooling fluid 🤦🏻♂️
What are you talking about, that's the easiest thing to do in all cars
You're just broke and cant afford any of the tools or lack the knowledge to do anything by yourself
Lmao one of the basic shit in cars
A spill free funnel would've saved you so much time with the bleeding process.
Not really. I would waste more time going and buying a spill free funnel vs doing exactly as instructed in the factory service manual from Infiniti.
For the record, multiple people have messaged me saying my video doesn't work. Come to find out after many questions, they were using a spill free funnel.
User error? I've done mine 3 times now with the funnel and bleeder. No problems.
@@ulrblitzer ...yep. People who use the spill free funnel think they don't have to still use the bleeder sequence and all the air will just bubble up through the spill free funnel.
Motordyne G35 are you saying if I have a spill free funnel, I should still remove the bleeder valve each time I’m adding coolant? What if I don’t plan on bleeding the entire system, just getting excess air out from previous improper fill-ups
How long have you been running the premix Prestone 50/50? I've read mixed reviews for the VQ on if you should stick with OE nissan blue/green coolant or not.
Rex Erection been recorded that people don’t have problems with GREEN, quality coolants. oem if you want to be extra safe, but if you don’t cheap out too hard and know what you’re doing you should be fine
Is there suppose to be cooliant in the resovor when doing this?
Every time that you rev it and check the coolant , do you keep flushing it out or are you just topping off every time until it comes out of the bleeder valve ?
Topping it off. You would quickly figure out the other way is impossible. You are not draining fluid out of the system, you are getting the air out.
Mine is taking foreverrrr replaced a coolant hose that was leaking and thermostat, this my 3rd day bleeding the dam car
I think I know why my cars overheating thanks
Hey, I have a 2004 G35 and the heat does not kick on. I noticed that as I'm driving the engine cold/hot indicator goes from normal to hot then backs down then goes back up again. The coolant level when engine is cold looks normal. Does this sound like the same issue as this video or could it be the thermostat?
Air in the system
@@zod6350 It turned out to be the thermostat. I had it fixed 2 months ago. Thanks for the suggestion though. I appreciate it.
My coolant came out darker than duck shit green... New coolant in looked like highlighter yellow... Tho my car never overheated even when constantly pushed to over 6k rpm... I poored in coolant 5x as slow and I only had to bleed 3 times.
Do you have to replace the thermostat as well once you do this?
Only if your having overheating problems. You will know that the thermostat is out when you have never had that issue before and one day it just starts to climb. Then the next day will be fine. That when you know your thermostat is going out. 👍🏻👍🏻
I have a 2007 g35. I drained my coolant system a month or 2 ago. And the hose where my bleeder value should be at isn’t there. It’s just one hose and that’s the hose that popped. How can I make sure this doesn’t happen again? And bleed my system properly
This works for the 08 model?
