The 2015 Nissan Frontier holds between 9.5 to 10.1 quarts (9.0 to 9.6 liters) of coolant, depending on the engine option.
Quick answer
- Total cooling system capacity: 9.5 qts (9.0 L) for the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine; 10.1 qts (9.6 L) for the 4.0L V6 engine.
- OEM coolant spec: Nissan Long Life Blue Coolant (a non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with a long-life hybrid organic acid technology - HOAT).
- Mix ratio: 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water.
Capacity by engine option
| Engine | Capacity (quarts) | Capacity (liters) |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5L 4-cylinder | 9.5 | 9.0 |
| 4.0L V6 | 10.1 | 9.6 |
Flush interval
- Normal duty: Replace at 105,000 miles or 7 years, whichever comes first.
- Severe duty: Replace every 60,000 miles.
How to refill & bleed
- Ensure the engine is cool.
- Remove the radiator cap and open the bleed screw on the top of the radiator.
- Slowly add the 50/50 coolant and water mixture to the radiator until it is full.
- Start the engine and let it run until it reaches operating temperature, at which point the thermostat will open and the coolant level will drop.
- Add more coolant to the radiator until it is full again.
- Close the bleed screw and replace the radiator cap.
- Top off the coolant reservoir to the "MAX" line.
Common cooling system issues
- Radiator leaks: The plastic tanks on the sides of the radiator can crack and leak over time.
- Water pump failure: The water pump can fail, causing the engine to overheat.
- Thermostat failure: The thermostat can stick open or closed, causing the engine to run too cool or too hot.
- Heater core leaks: The heater core can leak, causing a sweet smell inside the cab and a film on the inside of the windshield.
