Went to the dealer, and they said I had about a 1.5 hr wait to get my coolant filled. The guy proceeded to tell me that it was due for a flush. I looked at him and said, "at 30K miles?!? The manual says 105K."

So I went inside to buy some (not the slightest bit interested in waiting and certainly not getting a full flush). After purchase inside I ask one of the service guys if I can borrow a funnel, and the guy responds incredulously that they can't lend tools to customers, as though I'm going to run off with their $0.75 funnel. Said fine, screw you too, and drove back to the office.

I only added a little because I don't want to overfill while it's hot. I will check it again tonight at home when it is on level ground and the engine is cold. Here's my red Solo cup funnel

Have a great day all!

Hey, hey, hey, I don't like all this "forgetting Tracie" stuff that's going on.

Ms. Pint, I already have one ready to go for you. BTW, Mr. Gurney offered his start button for you - it was Alcheng that was going to donate his start button for EW (Mr. Gurney only offered to pay for the shipping to get it to me) Just settle down now

can you tell me where the release valve (cap) is located on the Z's hose?

thanks.

Morning Ken

Yes, the blue stuff is recommended change at 105K miles or 7 years according to the manual. The manual also claims that mixing any other coolant (including the green Nissan stuff) decreases the life of the original, factory-filled fluid.

I believe the pressure release valve is the radiator cap itself (IIRC it is rated to somewhere around 19.5 psi).

I still don't get why I wouldn't keep mine though. Color me confused. And my post was talking about the drive.
