Unit: liter (lmp qt)
CAUTION:
lBe sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
lThe refill capacity depends on the oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifications for ref-
erence only.
lAlways use the dipstick to determine when the proper amount of oil is in the engine.
6. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for oil leakage.
7. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
8. Check oil level. Refer toLU-7, "
ENGINE OIL".
Changing Oil FilterELS000AT
1. Open the oil filter installation/removal cover on the under cover.
2. Using an oil filter wrench, remove the oil filter.
CAUTION:
lThe oil filter is provided with a relief valve.
Use genuine NISSAN oil filter or equivalent.
lBe careful not to get burned when the engine and engine oil
are hot.
lWhen removing, prepare a shop cloth to absorb any oil
leakage or spillage.
lDo not allow engine oil to adhere to the drive belts.
lCompletely wipe off any oil that adhere to the engine and
the vehicle.

4. Remove the O-ring from the filter body.
lPush the O-ring in one direction, lift the slack part using fin-
gers, 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
(body side and bracket side).
2. Install the oil filter element and O-ring to the filter body.
lPush the oil filter element into the filter body completely.
3. Install the filter body to the oil filter bracket.
4. After warming up the engine, check for engine oil leakage.
5. Check oil level and add engine oil. Refer toMA-32, "
Changing Engine Oil".
Draining WaterELS000CJ
1. Prepare a tray at the drain hose open end.
2. Loosen drain cock, and operate priming pump to drain water
from fuel filter.
CAUTION:
lCoolant in filter is drained with fuel. Prepare larger capacity
pan than fuel filter volum.
lDrained coolant is mixed with fuel. Prevent fuel from adher-
ing to rubber parts such as engine mount insulator.
3. After draining, close drain cock by hand.
CAUTION:
If drain cock is tightened excessively, it may be damaged and
fuel will leak. Do not use tools to tighten drain cock.
4. Bleed air in fuel piping. Refer toFL-16, "
Air Bleeding".
5. Start engine.

2. Check oil level.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.
Checking A/T FluidELS000BV
1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for fluid leakage.
3. Before driving, fluid level can be checked at fluid temperatures
of 30 to 50°C (86 to 122°F) using “COLD” range on dipstick.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi-
tion. Leave selector lever in “P” position.
c. Check fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove dipstick and note reading. If level is at low side of either
range, and fluid to the charging pipe.
e. Re-insert dipstick into charging pipe as far as it will go.
f. Remove dipstick and note reading. If reading is at low side of range, add fluid to the charging pipe.
Do not overfill.
4. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.
5. Re-check fluid level at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F) using “HOT” range on dipstick.
6. Check fluid condition.
lIf fluid is very dark or smells burned, refer to AT section for
checking operation of A/T. Flush cooling system after repair of
A/T.
lIf A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer toCO-12,
"RADIATOR",CO-15, "RADIATOR (ALUMINUM TYPE)"
,CO-33, "RADIATOR",CO-36, "RADIATOR (ALLUMINUM
TYPE)".
