2001 NISSAN PICK-UP maintenance

The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric
conditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent
maintenance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.

Changing Air Cleaner Filter
VISCOUS PAPER TYPE
The viscous paper type filter does not need cleaning
between renewals.
Changing Positive Crankcase Ventilation
(PCV) Filter
Remove air cleaner cover and take out PCV filter located inside
air cleaner cover. Then install new PCV filter.

Checking Drive Belts
INSPECTION
+Before inspecting the engine, make sure the engine has
cooled down; wait approximately 30 minutes after the engine
has been stopped.
+Visually inspect all belts for wear, damage, or cracks on
contacting surfaces and edge areas.
+When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the
.marked point.
+When checking belt deflection immediately after
installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then,
after turning the crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust
to the specified value to avoid variation in deflection
between pulleys.
+Tighten idler pulley lock nut and measure deflection
without looseness.

CAUTION:
+When a new belt is installed as a replacement, adjust it
to the value specified under ªNewº accommodations
because of insufficient adaptability with pulley grooves.
+If the belt deflection of the current belt is out of the
ªLimit for re-tighteningº, adjust to the ªAdjusted valueº.
