4
Pay attention to the fact that after having done the engine is still a certain amount of liquid. This residue can be drained through a hole that is in all Nissan models located on the engine itself.
5
Pour washing water at the top thick hose that runs from the radiator to the engine. Gradually, in small portions pass through the hose about ten litres in total. Until the engine has drained all the coolant, the water will have the color of antifreeze. Should I flush the engine, until it becomes transparent.
6
Pour distilled water, its volume should be about one and a half liters. Rinse the engine is already proven method. There ready pour over a liter of antifreeze and run all the way until it drains from the drain.

In addition to distilled water, to clean the system from old antifreeze will help flush special tools.
Useful advice
When the radiator is filled with coolant completely, pour a little antifreeze in the expansion tank and start the engine, leaving the drain hole open. So run the coolant throughout the system. The whole procedure should last about twenty minutes.
