2014-2019 Nissan Rogue Coolant Change 

Very welcome!

You're very welcome!

I would suggest that you add to remove that plastic bottom plate. I didnt and mine was slightly misaligned so I had coolant come out of everywhete till I got it off in a hurry haha but appreciate the step by step it worked flawlessly

@@oliverm1741 thanks for the feedback!

That's a very good point! At the same time coolant change is done for a variety of reasons. I'll just paste some information here. Coolant flushes remove rust and scale deposits, which build up over time. It’s important to get rid of these deposits because they can cause overheating and damage your entire cooling system. The new anti-freeze contains additives that work to lubricate your automobile’s water pump, which can help extend the life of your water pump. The additives in the new anti-freeze also help prevent rust from building up in the water pump, which allows the cooling system to operate more efficiently. Over time, the old anti-freeze loses its anti-corrosive properties, which allows for contaminants to build up in the cooling system. Getting a coolant flush will completely clean these particles from the system. When you get a coolant flush, it is also common to receive an inspection of your entire cooling system including the thermostat, radiator and all hoses and belts. This is beneficial because it checks for leaks and other potential problems. Getting a coolant flush will prevent the old anti-freeze from becoming acidic. This is important because once it starts to become acidic it will break down and can damage the bearing in the water pump, the rubber hoses and the aluminum components of the engine.

@@justdoityourself So true. I know some people who say to just use water. That would be great and all but those dimwits don't realize that water boils too easily. Before we had the myriad of different coolants we do today there was water with alcohol added to prevent freezing in cold weather. Then there is the green stuff we may have all seen before. Why didn't they just stick with water and alcohol might some people wonder. It was because in some months the alcohol would boil or evaporate out. Also back in those days they never realized the need for better chemistry. That only began when the green stuff came out and we could go and buy it for our cars and trucks. In those days green was the only universal coolant but now these days that stuff will react with newer coolants and make a mess in the cooling system you will always remember.

I like to do a radiator drain/fill around every 5 years regardless of miles. I figure fresh fluid, fresh additives. I did my 2017 Accord sport radiator drain/fill with Honda 50/50 in 2021 with around 50K miles just because I wanted too. The fluid may be good for 100K miles plus like they say but I will never know. Every 5 years for me and I could care less what others say

Most of rads have a drain valve. Some got plugged, some break, some impossible to reach to, but they should be there.

Bottom hose is the return from the radiator to the engine. So it will always be colder then the top hose. Just run the vehicle for like 30 minutes, make sure engine temperature stays within limits (does not go too high) and with higher RPMs the radiator fan clicks in: this should happen when coolant temperature is going higher than 90 degrees C. Let the engineer fully cool down, usually that helps to get rid of air too.If everything is good there should not be any air in the system.

Thanks!

Hi! 5-6 L.

Do not worry too much about air. It will come out the same way it got in. The worst case scenario I had- after vehicle was getting too hot (thermostat would not open because of the air) I left it for a night to cool down, next morning there was no air in the system. :). Also the funnel is cheap.

Leveled is perfectly fine, might be even better. Using compressed air is good but not critical. Siphon pum probably won't do much.

Yes, the system needs to be bled. Having said that it usually does require much effort, most of the time air escapes on its own.

Have not touched those yet, but cannot imagine them being much different.

Okay, I see. Unfortunately, it's not in the same spot unless something needs to be removed @@justdoityourself

I would strongly recommend changing it. It will pay off in a long term.

@@justdoityourself Thanks for your advice! Will do it by tomorrow morning then!! Do I also need to replace the transmission liquid? Never done it within 125k...thanks a million for the help

@@TSA333 You are very welcome!Transmission fluid is one of the most critical fluids in a car after engine oil. It not only lubricate transmission, but cools it down and shifts the gears. I usually do fluid change every 50,000 km on my vehicles, and would not recommend anyone to do more than 100,000 kms.

@@justdoityourself thank you! Will do it tomorrow as well then

@@justdoityourself changes both this morning! The car is running much better, Mr Lube told me to change transmission fluid every 90k and coolant every 4-5 years. Yesterday the car didn't switch the gears and had specific noise when pressing gas

Most likely it is not the exact same, but general idea would be the same.

@@justdoityourselfokay, thank you!

Looked up capacity with search. 7.7 quarts.

Around 5 liters, just over 1 gallon
