Why is my Xterra overheating?
While there are a variety of reasons your Nissan Xterra is overheating, the most common 3 are a coolant leak (water pump, radiator, hose etc.), the radiator fan, or a failed thermostat.
What should the temperature of a water reservoir be?
Reservoir temperature should be less than 175°F to minimize degradation of the presently available surfactants. Like reservoir pressure, reservoir temperature is also an important factor governing the phase behavior and the properties of the reservoir fluids.
What’s the boiling point of water in a radiator?
The system is intentionally kept at typically about 15psi of pressure (the actual rating is on the radiator cap) in order to raise the boiling point and prevent boilover. A typical engine runs at right about the boiling temperature of water (at 29.92hg, at 23C, etc. etc. etc. To most people it’s just blah blah blah).

What happens when coolant is boiling out of the reservoir?
When this is not functioning properly, the result can be catastrophic overheating of your car’s engine. The fact that the coolant was boiling out of the reservoir cap suggests that the thermostat may be stuck closed. When this happens, the coolant is not allowed to circulate throughout the vehicle’s engine as it should.
