Where is the water drain valve of the Nissan Sylphy?

The water drain valve of the Nissan Sylphy is located at the bottom of the radiator, where there is a drain plug that can be opened to release the water. The car radiator generally refers to the cooling system's radiator, which in the engine's water cooling system consists of three parts: the inlet chamber, outlet chamber, main plate, and radiator core. The Nissan Sylphy is a compact car under Dongfeng Nissan, with body dimensions of 4631mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1503mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The car's instrument panel features a traditional dual-dial design, with a black background and white numerals for the tachometer and speedometer, making them clear and easy to read. Additionally, there is a color display screen in the center that can show a variety of driving information.
I've worked on several Nissan Sylphys and often do my own coolant maintenance. The radiator drain valve is located at the very bottom center of the radiator, usually a black plastic knob or small cap. You'll need to open the hood, crouch down and carefully inspect the lower edge of the radiator - don't twist too hard to avoid damage. The engine must be completely cool before starting, otherwise steam or hot water could burn you (I wear thick gloves for safety). Note that the position varies slightly between different model years (like 2015 or 2020 models), but it's generally at the bottom center. After draining, I recommend flushing the radiator before adding new fluid to the fill line. Doing this regularly prevents rust and extends radiator life - don't put it off too long. Wiping the radiator during car washes also helps keep it clean and prevents clogging.
