PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE UNDER SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS
(Annual Mileage <30,000 Km/year)
The maintenance intervals shown on the preceding pages are for normal operating conditions. If the vehicle is
mainly operated under severe driving conditions as shown below, more frequent maintenance must be per-
formed on the following items as shown in the table.
Severe driving conditions
A — Driving in dusty conditions
B — Repeatedly driving short distances
C — Towing a trailer or caravan
D — Extensive idling
E — Driving in extremely adverse weather conditions or in areas where ambient temperatures are either
extremely low or extremely high
F — Driving in high humidity or mountainous areas
G — Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials
H — Driving on rough and/or muddy roads or in the desert
I — Driving with frequent use of braking or in mountainous areas
Maintenance operation: Check = Check and correct or replace as necessary.

ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL MAINTENANCE (YD25DDTI DIESEL ENGINE)
(Annual Mileage >30,000 Km/year)
Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace, D = Check filter and drain water
NOTE:
lMaintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving
Conditions”.
l(1) If valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
l(2)NeveruseCG-4oil.
l(3) Oil filter element assembly and O-ring seal are replacement parts.
l(4) First replace at 100,000 Km (60,000 miles), then every 60,000Km (36,000 miles). After first replacement, perform "I"
(checking the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.
l(5) If engine power decreases, black exhaust smoke is emitted or engine noise increases, perform this maintenance item.

RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
PFP:00000
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)

DRAINING
1. Start engine and let it run to warm up transmission.
2. Stop engine. Remove drain plug and gasket and then drain oil.
3. Set a gasket on drain plug and install it to transmission case. Tighten drain plug to the specified torque.
Refer toMT-19, "
Case Components".
CAUTION:
Do no reuse gasket.
FILLING
1. Remove filler plug and gasket. Fill with new oil until oil level reaches the specified limit near filler plug
mounting hole.
2. After refilling oil, check oil level. Set a gasket to filler plug, then install it to transmission case. Tighten filler
plug to the specified torque. Refer toMT-19, "
Case Components".
CAUTION:
Do no reuse gasket.
Checking M/T OilECS00ID4
OIL LEAKAGE AND OIL LEVEL
lMake sure that oil is not leaking from transmission or around it.
lCheck oil level from filler plug mounting hole as shown in the fig-
ure.
CAUTION:
Do not start engine while checking oil level.
lSet a gasket on filler plug and install it to transmission case.
Tighten filler plug to the specified torque. Refer toMT-19, "
Case
Components".
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.Oil grade and viscosity: Refer toMA-14, "
