*1: For further details, see ªSAE Viscosity Numberº.
*2: SAE 90 is acceptable in ambient temperatures above þ18ÉC (0ÉF)
*3: Do not mix automatic transmission fluid and gear oil.
*4: Never use API CG-4.
*5: Use Genuine Nissan Anti-freeze Coolant (L250) 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.

Changing Engine Oil
WARNING:
IBe careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
I 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 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:
I Be 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:
I See 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.

2. Before installing new oil filter, clan the oil filter mounting surfaceon cylinder block and coat the rubber seal of the oil filter with
a little engine oil.
3. Install oil filter. When installing oil filter, screw it in until a slight resistance is
felt, then tighten an additional 2/3 turn or more.
4. Add engine oil.
Refer to Changing Engine Oil.
Changing Engine Coolant
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being scalded, never attempt to change
the coolant when the engine is hot.
1. Set heater ªTEMPº control lever all the way to ªHOTº position.
2. Remove radiator cap and engine under cover.
3. Disconnect lower radiator hose to drain coolant. Remove reservoir tank, drain coolant, then clean reservoir tank.
Re-install tank temporarily.
4. Remove cylinder block drain plug located at left rear of cylin- der block.
5. Drain coolant and then tighten drain plug securely.
I Apply sealant to the thread of drain
:30-40N ×m (3.1 - 4.1 kg-m, 22.1 - 29.5 ft-lb)
6. Connect lower radiator hose.
7. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water. Re-install radiator cap and warm up engine.
8. Stop engine and wait until cools down.
9. Drain water.
10. Repeat step 2 through step 9 two or three times, until clear water begins to drain from radiator.
11. Fill radiator with coolant up to the specified level. Follow instructions attached to anti-freeze container for mixing
ratio of anti-freeze to water.Coolant capacity (with reservoir tank): 10.0 (8-3/4 Imp qt)
Slowly pour coolant through coolant filler neck to allow air in
system to escape.

Checking Idle Speed
Preparation
1. Make sure that injection timing is correct.
2. Make sure that injection nozzle are in good condition.
3. Make sure that the following parts are in good condition.
IAir cleaner clogging
I Glow system
I Engine oil and coolant levels
I Valve clearance
I Air intake system (Oil filler cap, oil level gauge, etc.)
4. Set shift lever in ªNeutralº position. Engage parking brake and lock both front and rear wheels with wheel chocks.
5. Turn off air conditioner, lights and accessories.
I Warm up engine until water temperature indicator points to middle of gauge.
I Lights, heater fan and all accessories are off.
I Attach tachometer's pick-up to No. 1 fuel injection tube.
In order to take accurate reading of engine rpm, remove clamps that secure No. 1 fuel injection tube.
Start engine.

CAUTION:
I Be sure to clean and install oil pan drain plug with washer.
Drain plug:
:54-58N ×m (5.5 - 6.0 kg-m, 40 - 43 ft-lb)
I The refill capacity changes depending on the oil tempera-
ture and drain time; use these valves as a reference and be
certain to check with the dipstick when changing the oil.
4. Check oil level.
5. Start engine. Check area around drain plug and oil filter for any sign of oil leakage.
6. Run engine for a few minutes, then turn it off. After 10 minutes check oil level.
