*3: Do not mix automatic transmission fluid and gear oil.
*4: Never use API CG-4.
*5: 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.
