Need help! Palit ng coolant

**radz15** · July 12th, 2015 11:40 AM

Mga tol pinapalitan ko coolant ng Adventure diesel ko. Nagtataka lang ako nung dati 8L ang naubos ko at ayon din sa manual 8L ang dapat ilagay na coolant pero ngayong palit ko eh nasa 2.5L lang nailagay ko puno na agad. Na drain naman yung coolant sa radiator. Bat kaya ganun?

There is a coolant left inside the engine. Coolant drain plug in the engine block is usually located near the thermostat.

Kung tinatamad na tangalin yung drain plug, just remove the lower rad hose then crank the engine-water pump will spit out remaining coolant inside the block. After successfully replacing coolant, air bleeding should be your next chore.

Ohh. Dalawang drain plug pala dapat ang tinanggal. Isa sa radiator and isa near the thermostat?. Is it ok to just keep it yung nasa engine or palitan nadin? Thanks!

Palit na rin. Old coolant are contaminated with acids/heavy metals and abrasives. Flush mo na rin using demineralized water.

Naka dami nako ng talyer saka gas station. D nila alam yung coolant drain plug sa engine block. Ang alam lang nila yung nasa radiator. Nagtataka lang ako nung 1st time ko magpalit ng coolant (40k km) parang napansin ko sa radiator drain plug lang ang tinanggal pero 8L ng coolant ang nalagay ko which is tama dahil 8L ang capacity ng coolant based sa manual. Pero nitong 2ng palit ko (80k km) nung tinanggal yung drain plug sa radiator nasa 2.5L lang eh puno na agad. Hmmm

Di kaya may bara somewhere? pero laki naman disparity ng 8L sa 2.5L. Hanap ka ng Service manual ng engine mo so you'd know where the other drain plug is.

Di ko sure kung may bara. Pero ok naman temperature ng sasakyan. Walang nakalagay sa manual e

No, Service manual is the manual or guidebook dealers use on how to fix your car (up to the last screw). sobrang detailed nun. 4D56 ang adventure diba, so look for it sa net. Sa akin nga (Sentra B17 / Sylphy) may nakuha na ako. Nakkaatamad lang basahin sobrang haba.
