WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Infiniti M35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
  • To avoid being scalded, never change engine coolant when the engine is hot.
  • Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap and carefully remove radiator cap. First, turn radiator cap a quarter of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn radiator cap all the way.
