Additional Notes

  • The Nissan Quest RE52 3.5 (USA) cooling system holds 10.5 liters across the 2011-2014 model years, a capacity consistent with a full system service fill that accounts for the radiator, engine block passages, heater core, and overflow reservoir.
  • Starting with the 2015-2016 model years, the cooling system capacity increases to 11.3 liters, a figure that carries forward into the 2017 model year as well.
  • Under normal use conditions, the coolant change interval for all covered model years is 75,000 miles or 60 months, whichever comes first.
  • An initial service interval of 105,000 miles or 84 months applies to all covered model years, meaning the first coolant change is deferred significantly longer than subsequent normal-use intervals.
  • The gap between the normal interval of 75,000 miles and the initial service interval of 105,000 miles reflects a common practice where factory-fill coolant is formulated to last longer than the fluid used in subsequent service fills.
  • The 10.5-liter capacity shared across 2011-2014 and the 11.3-liter capacity shared across 2015-2017 represent the only two distinct cooling system volumes specified for the Quest 3.5 (USA) within the covered range.
