2004 NISSAN TERRANO oil type

Precautions for Fuel
DIESEL ENGINE*:
Diesel fuel of at least 50 cetane for ZD30DDTi engine.
* If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or winterfuel properly according to the following temperature conditions.
I Above þ7ÉC (20ÉF) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
I Below þ7ÉC (20ÉF) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
CAUTION:
I Do not use home heating oil, gasoline, or other alternate
fuels in your diesel engine. The use of those can cause
engine damage.
I Do not use summer fuel at temperature below þ7ÉC (20ÉF).
The cold temperature will cause wax to form in the fuel. As
a result, it may prevent the engine from running smoothly.
I Do not add gasoline or other alternate fuels to diesel fuel.
Precautions for Engine Oils
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the
removal of natural fats from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation
and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially
harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer. Adequate
means of skin protection and washing facilities must be provided.
HEALTH PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
1. Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly
used engine oils.
2. Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.
3. Do not put oily rags in pockets.
4. Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underwear, with oil.
5. Heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should not be worn. Overalls must be cleaned regularly.
6. First Aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds.
7. Use barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to help the removal of oil from the skin.
8. Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will help). Preparations containing
lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.
9. Do not use petrol, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or sol- vents for cleaning skin.
10. If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.
11. Where practicable, degrease components prior to handling.
12. Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn, for example, chemical goggles or face shields; in addition
an eye wash facility should be provided.
(For the United Kingdom, see also HSE Cautionary Notice SHW
397 ªEffects of Mineral Oil on the Skinº.)
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
Burning used engine oil in small space heaters or boilers can be
recommended only for units of approved design. The heating sys-
tem must meet the requirements of HM Inspectorate of Pollution for
small burners of less than 0.4 MW. If in doubt check with the
appropriate local authority and/or manufacturer of the approved
appliance.
