Fluids and LubricantsELS001JA
*1: For further details, see “SAE Viscosity Number”.
*2: Never use API CG-4.
*3: 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.
*4: Contact a Nissan dealership for more information regarding suitable fluids, including recommended brand(s) of DEXRON
™III/MER-
CON™ Automatic Transmission Fluid.
*5:Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN ATF Matic Fluid J will cause deterioration in driveability
and automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by the warranty.
*6: DEXRON™III type ATF can be used.
*7: Never mix different types of fluids (DOT 3 and DOT 4).Capacity (Approximate)

ENGINE MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
6. Refill with new engine oil.
Engine oil specification and viscosity:
Refer toMA-14, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS".
Engine oil capacity (Approximate):
Unit: (lmp qt)
CAUTION:
lWhen filling engine oil, do not pull out oil level gauge.
lThe refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifica-
tions for reference only.
lAlways use the oil level gauge to determine when the proper amount of engine oil is in the
engine.
7. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for oil leakage.
8. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
9. Check the engine oil level. Refer toLU-5, "
ENGINE OIL LEVEL".
Changing Oil FilterELS001JY
REMOVAL
1. Remove engine undercover middle.
2. Place a pan to catch the engine oil under the lower part of drain hose outlet before removing oil filter.
3. Using the oil filter wrench, remove oil filter.
CAUTION:
lBe careful not to get burned when engine and engine oil are hot.
lWhen removing, prepare a shop cloth to absorb any engine oil leakage or spillage.
lDo not allow engine oil to adhere to drive belts.
lCompletely wipe off any engine oil that adhere to engine and vehicle.
lOil filter is provided with a relief valve. Use Genuine NISSAN Oil Filter or equivalent.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove foreign materials adhering to the oil filter installation surface.
2. Apply new engine oil to the oil seal circumference of new oil fil-
ter.
Use Genuine NISSAN Oil Filter or equivalent.Oil pan drain plug:

Special Service ToolsEJS0062C
The actual shapes of Kent-Moore tools may differ from those of special service tools illustrated here.
HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Tools and EquipmentEJS0062D
Never mix HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and/or its specified lubricant with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/or
its lubricant.
Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/lubri-
cant.
Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles
refrigerant and/or lubricant) are different between CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid
mixed use of the refrigerants/lubricant.
Adapters that convert one size fitting to another must never be used: refrigerant/lubricant contamination will
occur and compressor malfunction will result.
