Lubrication Oil
Name: Nissan A/C System Oil Type R
Part number: KLH00-PAGR0
Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor
The oil used to lubricate the compressor circulates through the
system with the refrigerant. Whenever any component of the sys-
tem is replaced or a large amount of gas leakage occurs, add oil
to the compressor to maintain the specified amount.
If oil quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions
may result:
ILack of oil: May lead to a seized compressor
IExcessive oil: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange impeded)
Checking and Adjusting
Adjust the oil quantity according to the flowchart shown below.
START
Can oil return operation be performed?
IA/C system works properly.
IThere is no evidence of a large amount
of oil leakage.
No
EYe s
Perform oil return operation, proceeding as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Start engine, and set the following conditions:

A/C or AUTO switch: ON
Blower speed: Max. position
Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25 to
30ÉC (77 to 86ÉF).]
2. Perform oil return operating for about 10 minutes.
3. Stop engine.
CAUTION:
If excessive oil leakage is noted, do not perform the oil return operation.
Should the compressor be replaced?
No Yes
qA(Go to next page.)
Is there any part to be replaced?
(Evaporator, condenser, liquid tank or in
case there is evidence of a large amount
of oil leakage.)
No

After replacing any of the following major components of the system, be sure
to add the correct amount of oil to the system.
Amount of oil to be added
*1: If compressor is replaced, addition of oil is included in the flow chart.
*2: If refrigerant leak is small, no addition of oil is needed. ªRatioº in this table
indicates the ratio of added oil to the overall amount of oil needed in the
system.

Changing Engine Oil
WARNING:
IBe careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
IProlonged 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 dipstick, oil filler cap and drain plug.
4. Drain oil.
5. Install drain plug.
CAUTION:
IBe sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
Drain plug:
: 29-39N×m(3.0 - 4.0 kg-m, 21 - 29 ft-lb)
6. Fill slowly with new oil whilst not exceeding the maximum level.
Oil specification and viscosity:
ISee ªRECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTSº (MA-
17).
Oil capacity (Approximately):
Unit:(Imp qt)
Drain and refill
With oil filter change 6.2 (5-1/2)
Without oil filter change 5.5 (4-7/8)
CAUTION:
IThe 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.
7. Install dipstick and filler cap.
8. Start engine. Check area around drain plug and oil filter for any
sign of oil leakage.
9. Run engine for a few minutes, then turn it off. After several
minutes check oil level again.
10. If necessary, add oil whilst not exceeding the maximum level.
Changing Oil Filter
1. Remove oil filter with a suitable wrench.
WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself as engine and oil is hot.

Removal
WATER PUMP, ALTERNATOR AND AIR CONDITIONER
BELT
1. Remove radiator shroud.
2. Contract and hold the auto tensioner using the following proce-
dure.
a. Securely hold the 19 mm (0.75 in) hexagonal portion A of auto
tensioner with a closed wrench.
IPreferably use a tool with a handhold of 500 mm (19.69 in) or
more in length.
INo bolts or nuts are required to be loosened during the opera-
tion.
b. Turn the hexagonal portion A in the direction shown by the
arrow to contract the damper unit of the auto tensioner.
CAUTION:
IBecause the tensioner has a high tension, it shall be
securely held and turned with a closed wrench.
IBecause the hexagonal portion A of the tensioner is made
of aluminum and may be damaged by sudden input, turn
it slowly according to the contraction of the damper unit.
3. Remove the belt from the alternator pulley first, and then
remove it from the other pulleys.
IIf the tensioner is not held firmly, your finger may get caught
between the belt and the pulleys. Confirm the holding of the
tensioner, and then hold the belt side in the place away from
the pulleys to attach or remove the belt, paying attention to
prevent your finger from being caught.
CAUTION:
IWhen handling the belt, pay attention to prevent the oil or
coolant from adhering to the belt.
IDo not distort or bend the belt intensively.
Installation
IInstall the belt in the reverse order of removal.
IAfter installation of the belt, confirm that the belt engages the
pulleys securely.
IDepending on the engagement between the belt and the idler
pulley, noise (belt noise) may be heard when the engine is
started just after installation. This noise will stop with time.

WARNING:
IBe careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil is hot.
IProlonged 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

1. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine com-
ponents.
2. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap.

ICheck battery type and determine the specified current using the table shown above.
IAfter starting charging, adjustment of charging current is not necessary.
CAUTION:
IDo not use quick charge method on a battery whose specific gravity is less than 1.100.
ISet initial charging current to value specified in Fig. 6. If charger is not capable of producing
specified current value, set its charging current as close to that value as possible.
IKeep battery away from open flame while it is being charged.
IWhen connecting charger, connect leads first, then turn on charger. Do not turn on charger first,
as this may cause a spark.
IBe careful of a rise in battery temperature because a large current flow is required during quick-
charge operation.
If battery temperature rises above 60ÉC (140ÉF), stop charging. Always charge battery when its
temperature is below 60ÉC (140ÉF).
IDo not exceed the charging time specified in Fig. 6, because charging battery over the charging
time can cause deterioration of the battery.
