2004 INFINITI FX35 engine oil capacity

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
Engine Brake ControlACS002LL

The forward one-way clutch transmits the drive force from the engine to the rear wheels. But the reverse
drive from the rear wheels is not transmitted to the engine because the one-way clutch is idling.
Therefore, the low coast brake solenoid is operated to prevent the forward one-way clutch from idling and
the engine brake is operated in the same manner as conventionally.

The operation of the low coast brake solenoid switches the low coast brake switching valve and controls
the coupling and releasing of the low coast brake.
The low coast brake reducing valve controls the low coast brake coupling force.
Control ValveACS002LM
FUNCTION OF CONTROL VALVE
SCIA1520E
Name Function
Torque converter regulator valveIn order to prevent the pressure supplied to the torque converter from being excessive,
the line pressure is adjusted to the optimum pressure (torque converter operating pres-
sure).
Pressure regulator valve
Pressure regulator plug
Pressure regulator sleeveAdjusts the oil discharged from the oil pump to the optimum pressure (line pressure) for
the driving state.
Front brake control valveWhen the front brake is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure
(front brake pressure) and supplies it to the front brake. (In 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th gears,
adjusts the clutch pressure.)
Accumulator control valveAdjusts the pressure (accumulator control pressure) acting on the accumulator piston
and low coast reducing valve to the pressure appropriate to the driving state.
Pilot valve AAdjusts the line pressure and produces the constant pressure (pilot pressure) required
for line pressure control, shift change control, and lock-up control.
Pilot valve BAdjusts the line pressure and produces the constant pressure (pilot pressure) required
for shift change control.
Low coast brake switching valve During engine braking, supplies the line pressure to the low coast brake reducing valve.
Low coast brake reducing valveWhen the low coast brake is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure
(low coast brake pressure) and supplies it to the low coast brake.
N-R accumulator Produces the stabilizing pressure for when N-R is selected.
Direct clutch piston switching valve Operates in 4th gear and switches the direct clutch coupling capacity.
High and low reverse clutch control valveWhen the high and low reverse clutch is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the opti-
mum pressure (high and low reverse clutch pressure) and supplies it to the high and low
reverse clutch. (In 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th gears, adjusts the clutch pressure.)

A commercial engine stand can be used.
CAUTION:
Use an engine stand that has a load capacity [approxi-
mately 220 kg (441 lb) or more] large enough for support-
ing the engine weight.
NOTE:
This example is an engine stand for holding at transmission
mounting side with drive plate removed.

DISASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Explained here is how to disassemble with engine stand supporting transmission surface. When using differ-
ent type of engine stand, note with difference in steps and etc.
1. Remove engine assembly from vehicle, and separate front suspension member, transmission and front
final drive from engine. Refer to EM-236, "
ENGINE ASSEMBLY" .
2. Remove the parts that may restrict installation of engine to widely use engine stand.
NOTE:
The procedure is described assuming that you use widely use engine holding the surface, to which trans-
mission is installed.
a. Remove drive plate.

Holding ring gear with ring gear stopper (SST).

Loosen mounting bolts diagonally order.
CAUTION:

Do not disassemble drive plate.

Do not place drive plate with signal plate facing down.

When handling signal plate, take care not to damage or
scratch it.

Handle signal plate in a manner that prevents it from
becoming magnetized.
b. Remove engine rear plate.
3. Lift engine with hoist to install it onto widely use engine stand.
CAUTION:
Use engine stand that has a load capacity [approximately 240kg (529 lb) or more] large enough for
supporting the engine weight.

If the load capacity of stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to reduce the
potential risk of overturning stand.
–Intake manifolds (upper and lower); Refer to EM-174, "INTAKE MANIFOLD" .
–Exhaust manifold; Refer to EM-178, "EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND THREE WAY CATALYST" .
–Fuel tube and fuel injector assembly; Refer to EM-188, "FUEL INJECTOR AND FUEL TUBE" .
–A/C compressor; Refer to ATC-139, "Components" .
–Ignition coil; Refer to EM-185, "IGNITION COIL" .

WARNING:

Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.

Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct
skin contact with used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand
cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
2. Warm up engine, and check for engine oil leakage from engine components. Refer to LU-7, "
ENGINE OIL
LEAKAGE" .
3. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap.
5. Drain engine oil.
6. Install drain plug with new washer. Refer to EM-30, "
OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER" .
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
7. Refill with new engine oil.
Engine oil specification and viscosity:
Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .
Engine oil capacity (Approximate):
Unit: (US qt, lmp qt)
CAUTION:

The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifica-
tions for reference only.

Always use oil level gauge to determine the proper amount of engine oil in engine.
8. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for engine oil leakage.
9. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
10. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "
ENGINE OIL LEVEL" . Oil pressure switch:
: 14.8 N·m (1.5 kg-m, 11 ft-lb)
Oil pan drain plug:
: 34.3 N·m (3.5 kg-m, 25 ft-lb)
