*5: Never use CG-4 grade oil.
*6: Use Nissan Genuine Anti-freeze Coolant (L250), or equivalent in its quality,
in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion within the engine cool-
ing 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.

CAUTION:
+Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
Drain plug:
:29-39Nzm (3.0 - 4.0 kg-m, 22 - 29 ft-lb)
+The refill capacity depends on the oil temperature and
drain time. Use these specifications for reference only.
Always use the dipstick to determine when the proper
amount of oil is in the engine.
6. Check oil level as follows.
a. Start engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter
for oil leakage.
b. Run engine for a few minutes, then turn it off. After more than
10 minutes, check oil level.

REMOVAL
1. Place a pan to catch the oil under the lower part of drain hose
outlet before removing filter body.
2. Using a hexagonal socket wrench [plane-to-plane width: 24
mm (0.94 in)], loosen the filter body approximately four turns.
3. Remove the filter body, then remove the oil filter element.
4. Remove the O-ring from the filter body.
+Push the O-ring in one direction, lift the slack part using
fingers, and remove the O-ring from the filter body.
CAUTION:
Do not use wires or flat-bladed screwdrivers etc. as they
may cause damage to the filter body.
INSTALLATION
1. Completely remove all foreign objects adhering to the inside
of the filter body or O-ring mounting area (filter body side and
bracket side).
2. Install the oil filter element and O-ring to the filter body.
+Push the oil filter element into the filter body completely.
3. Install the filter body to the oil filter bracket.
:20-25Nzm (2.0 - 2.6 kg-m, 15 - 18 ft-lb)
4. After warming up the engine, check for engine oil leakage
and oil level.
CAUTION:
Completely wipe clean any engine oil remaining on the fil-
ter body or vehicle.
Changing Engine Coolant
To avoid the danger of being scalded, never change the
coolant when the engine is hot.
Ð DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT Ð
1. Set air conditioning system as follows to prevent coolant from
remaining in the system.
a. Turn ignition switch ON and set temperature controller to
maximum hot position.
b. Wait 10 seconds before turning ignition switch OFF.
2. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator and
remove radiator cap to drain coolant.
