OK, unbelievably can not find good quick accurate answer to this simple question:
What's 2010 Pathfinder SE V6 CORRECT Recommended Radiator coolant level???
Usually when I have looked at the inside/top of OTHER cars radiators after removing rad cap. I always have notice green "Coolant or Antifreeze" in them, close to top of radiator neck/cap.
Now yesterday, performed routine check on my 2010 Pathfinder V6 56,000 M, with engine off remove radiator cap and....surprise....Coolant level it is at low Level...:-/ and as I leave rad cap open for few minutes and I'm inspecting around for leaks..: coolant dropped even lower..!!! :-O It dropped to were you can clearly see clean out expose aluminum metal (it seems) fins with holes lower than the aluminum metal. Seems "empty".
what the heck??!! Leak??!! :-/
I'm confused cause coolant Reservoir it is almost at max level (mid section of white yellowish container), AND engine has not never ever has over heated at all (while driving I always keep an eye on it). :-/
I did check coolant reservoir and only see green coolant and no AT oily reddish fluid or white milk stuff, etc in it or mixed in. Only see GREEN coolant so far inside coolant reservoir. Checked reservoir not only for coolant presence but also for contamination, because oh yes I did read in this site blogs &.. freaked out a little about Transmission fluid line "leaking inside radiator" :-O due to a defective Radiator version. I hope, I don't think at this point is that...also besides, no overheating, no AT oily fluid in coolant container, the truck shifts fine don't feel any ruff gear shifting, clunking, etc. It's driving & shifting pretty good smooth I think considering ~56,000 M. So far..
So please can someone answer this simple question above about Real manufacturer recommended Coolant LEVEL when engine it's cold and off??
Thanks!
