TMIII/MERCONTMAutomatic Transmission Fluid.
*3: Never use API CG-4.
*4: Use Genuine Nissan Anti-freeze Coolant (L2N) or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion within the engine cooling
system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant.
Note that any repairs for the incidents within the engine cooling system while using non-genuine engine coolant may not be covered by
the warranty even if such incidents occurred during the warranty period.
*5: Never mix DOT 3 & DOT 4.

Refill oil capacity (approximate):
Without oil filter change
5.2!(4-5/8 Imp qt)
With oil filter change
5.7!(5 Imp qt)
CAUTION:
+Be sure to clean and install oil pan drain plug with
washer.
Drain plug:
:54-58Nzm (5.5 - 6.0 kg-m, 40 - 43 ft-lb)
+The refill capacity changes depending on the oil tem-
perature and drain time; use these valves as a reference
and be certain to check with the dipstick when changing
the oil.
4. Check oil level.
5. Start engine. Check area around drain plug and oil filter for
any sign of oil leakage.
6. Run engine for a few minutes, then turn it off. After 10 min-
utes check oil level.
