Changing Air Cleaner Filter
Viscous paper type
Unfasten clamps to change air cleaner filter.
The viscous paper type filter does not need cleaning.
Changing Engine Oil
WARNING:

Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.

Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil
may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact
with used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly
with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine com-
ponents.
2. Stop engine.
3. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap.
4. Drain oil and refill with new engine oil.
Oil grade: API SH or SJ/ACEA A2/96
Viscosity: See“RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS”, MA-16.

With oil filter change3.7 (6 - 1/2)
Without oil filter change3.5 (6 - 1/8)
Dry engine (engine overhaul)3.9 (6 - 7/8)
CAUTION:

Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
Drain plug:
:29-39N·m (3.0 - 4.0 kg-m, 22 - 29 ft-lb)

The refill oil capacity depends on oil temperature and
drain time. Use these specifications as a reference only.
Always use the dipstick to determine when the proper
amount of oil is in the engine.
5. Start engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter
for oil leakage.
6. Run engine for a few minutes, then turn it off. After several
minutes, check oil level.

Check that oil is not leaking from transaxle or around it.

Remove speedometer pinion and check oil level distance“L”
as shown.
Oil level (“L”):

Use genuine NISSAN XZ gear oil or exact equivalent.
Checking CVT Fluid Level
1. Check for fluid leakage.
2. Check fluid level.
Fluid level should be check using“HOT”range on dipstick at
fluid temperatures of 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F) after vehicle
has been driven approximately 10 minutes in urban areas
after engine is warmed up. But it can be checked at fluid
temperatures of 30 to 50°C (86 to 122°F) using“COLD”
range on dipstick for reference after engine is warmed up
and before driving. However, fluid level must be rechecked
using“HOT”range.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and then move selector lever through reach
gear range, ending in“P”.

c. Check fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove dipstick and wipe it clean with lint-free paper.
e. Re-insert dipstick into charging pipe as far as it will go.
f. Remove dipstick and note reading. If level is at low side of
either range, add fluid.
Use genuine NISSAN CVT fluid (NS-1) or exact equivalent.
CAUTION
Do not overfill.
CAUTION:
Firmly fix the dipstick using a lip attached to the fluid charg-
ing pipe.
3. Check fluid condition.
Check fluid for contamination. If fluid is very dark, smells
burned or contains frictional material check operation of CVT.
Refer to section AT for checking operation of CVT.
Changing CVT Fluid
1. Warm up CVT fluid by driving the vehicle for 10 minutes.
2. Stop engine.
3. Drain CVT fluid from drain plug and refill with new CVT fluid.
Always refill same volume compared with drained fluid.

Drain plug:
:23-27N·m (2.4 - 2.8 kg-m, 17 - 20 ft-lb)
Use genuine NISSAN CVT fluid (NS-1) or exact equivalent.
4. Run engine at idle speed for five minutes.
5. Jack up the front of the vehicle, and rotate front wheels by
selecting“D”and depressing accelerator pedal slowly until
50 km/h (2 or 3 times).
6. Check fluid level and condition. Refer to“Checking CVT Fluid
Level”. If fluid is still dirty, repeat step 2. throught 6.
