yep. the nissan coolant is already pre-mixed so u dont need to add any distilled water. just pour in slowly. there is an air release valve on the driver side of the radiator if u want to use it. fill till coolant spills out.

but i dont like the smell of burnt coolant and didnt feel like washing the engine bay after the engine was cold again so did not use the air release valve. it took a good 45min to burp the system.

I seriously may have to try this now. And then bleed the brakes some day. That truly terrifies me. I know it's just a nipple on the calipers, but still.

yah, brakes imho is a tad harder dan coolant as u dont want to introduce new air into the system. if u use an extractor it will make it a lot easier dan pumping the brake pedal.. plus u can do it urself at a controlled extraction rate.

a lot of folks use the pump dat pressurizes from the reservoir side. some just use gravity.. meaning no tools, just loosen the nipple and allow brake fluid to slowly drain out while u add new fluid. it works but will take a very long time to do.. and i worry the new fluid will absorb too much moisture while u have the cap off.
