Changing Engine OilELS0010A
WAR NIN G:

Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.

Prolonged 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 the engine, and check for any oil leaks.
2. Stop the engine and wait for at least 10 minutes.
3. Remove the oil drain plug and oil filler cap to drain the old oil.
4. Install a new washer on the oil drain plug, then install the oil drain plug in the oil pan.
CAUTION:
Clean the drain plug and install with a new washer.
5. Refill the engine with the specified oil.
CAUTION:

Clean the drain plug and install with a new washer.

The refill capacity depends on the oil temperature and drain time. Use the oil capacity value as a
reference and check the oil level using the dipstick when filling the oil.
6. Warm up the engine and check the area around the drain plug and oil filter for any oil leaks.
7. Stop the engine and wait for more than 10 minutes.
8. Check the oil level using the dipstick as shown. Add oil as nec-
essary and install the oil filler cap.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill the engine with oil.
Changing Oil FilterELS0010B
1. Remove the oil filter using Tool.
WAR NIN G:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and engine oil are hot.
NOTE:
The filter is a full-flow cartridge type and is provided with a relief valve.Oil pan drain plug : Refer to EM-22, "
OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER" .
Oil capacity and grade : Refer to MA-10, "

POWER STEERING FLUID
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
POWER STEERING FLUIDPFP:KLF20
Checking Fluid LevelEGS000MN
Check fluid level, referring to the scale on reservoir tank.
Use HOT range for fluid temperatures of 50° – 80°C (122° – 176°F).
Use COLD range for fluid temperatures of 0° – 30°C (32° – 86°F).
CAUTION:

Do not overfill.

Do not reuse any used power steering fluid.

Recommended fluid is Genuine NISSAN PSF or equivalent.
Refer to MA-10, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .
Checking Fluid LeakageEGS000MO
Check the hydraulic piping lines for improper attachment and for
leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
1. Run engine until fluid temperature reaches 50° – 80°C (122° –
176°F) in reservoir tank. Keep engine speed idle.
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each “lock” position for five seconds to
check fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 10 seconds. (There is the possibility that oil pump may
be damaged.)
4. If fluid leakage at connections is noticed, then loosen flare nut and then retighten. Do not over tighten con-
nector as this can damage O-ring, washer and connector.
5. If fluid leakage from oil pump is noticed, check oil pump. Refer to PS-26, "
POWER STEERING OIL
PUMP" .
6. Check steering gear boots for accumulation of fluid indicating a leak from the steering gear.
Air Bleeding Hydraulic SystemEG S0 0 0MP
Incomplete air bleeding causes the following. When this happens, bleed air again.

Air bubbles in reservoir tank.

Clicking noise in oil pump.

Excessive buzzing in oil pump.
NOTE:
When vehicle is stationary or while steering wheel is being turned slowly, some noise may be heard from
oil pump or gear. This noise is normal and does not affect any system.
1. Stop engine, and then turn steering wheel fully to right and left several times.
CAUTION:
Do not allow steering fluid reservoir tank to go below the MIN level line. Check tank frequently and
add fluid as needed.
2. Run engine at idle speed. Turn steering wheel fully right and then fully left, hold for about three seconds.
Then check for fluid leakage.
3. Repeat step 2 several times at about three second intervals.
CAUTION:
Do not hold steering wheel in the locked position for more than 10 seconds. (There is the possibil-
ity that oil pump may be damaged.)
4. Check for air bubbles or cloudy fluid.
5. If air bubbles or cloudiness still exists, stop engine, perform steps 2 and 3 again until air bubbles or cloud-
iness does not exist.
6. Stop engine, check fluid level.

REAR FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
2. Install the pinion mate shaft into the differential case so that it
meets the lock pin holes.
3. Adjust the clearance between rear face of side gear and thrust
washer by selecting the correct thickness side gear thrust
washer. Refer to RFD-26, "
AVAILABLE SIDE GEAR THRUST
WAS HER S" .
Use two feeler gauges as shown to prevent the side gear from
leaning.
SIDE BEARING PRELOAD
NOTE:
A selection of carrier side bearing adjusting washers is required for completion of this procedure.
1. All parts must be clean. The bearings must be well lubricated
with light oil or DEXRON
TM type automatic transmission fluid.
2. Place the differential case assembly, with the side bearing outer
races installed, into the gear carrier.
3. Insert the left and right side bearing adjusting washers in posi-
tion between the side bearings and the gear carrier as shown.

Service NoticeEDS0017L
1. Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the all-mode 4WD transfer. It is
important to prevent the internal parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
2. Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.
3. Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere
with the operation of the all-mode 4WD transfer.
4. Place disassembled parts in order for easier and proper assembly.
5. All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.
6. Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the all-mode 4WD transfer is disassembled.
7. It is very important to perform functional tests whenever they are indicated.
8. The valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme care when parts are removed and serviced.
Place removed parts in a parts rack in order to replace them in correct positions and sequences. Care will
also prevent springs and small parts from becoming scattered or lost.
9. Properly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along bores in valve body under their own weight.
10. Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings
and seals, and to hold bearings and washers in place during assembly. Do not use grease.
11. Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.
12. After overhaul, refill the transfer with new ATF.
13. When the all-mode 4WD transfer drain plug is removed, only some of the fluid is drained. Old all-mode
4WD transfer fluid will remain in torque converter and ATF cooling system. Always follow the proper pro-
cedure. Refer to MA-24, "
Changing Transfer Fluid" .
