ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL MAINTENANCE (YD22DDTI 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:
Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving
Conditions”.
(1) If valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
(2) Never use CG-4 oil.
(3) Oil filter element assembly and O-ring seal are replacement parts.
(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.
(5) If engine power decreases, black exhaust smoke is emitted or engine noise increases, perform this maintenance item.

*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 w ithin 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
TM III/
MERCONTM Automatic Transmission Fluid.

d. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and wipe clean lint-free paper.
CAUTION:
When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not cloth one.
e. Re-insert A/T fluid level gauge into charging pipe as far as it will go.
CAUTION:
To check fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge until the cap contacts the end of the A/T fluid
charging pipe, with the A/T fluid level gauge reversed from the normal attachment conditions.
f. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and note reading. If reading is at low side of range, add fluid to the A/T fluid
charging pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill.
4. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.
5. Re-check fluid level at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F) using “HOT” range on A/T fluid
level gauge.
CAUTION:
When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not cloth one.
To check fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge until the cap contacts the end of the A/T fluid
charging pipe, with the A/T fluid level gauge reversed from the normal attachment conditions.
6. Check fluid condition.
If fluid is very dark or smells burned, refer to AT section for
checking operation of A/T. Flush cooling system after repair of
A/T.
If A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to CO-12,
"RADIATOR" , CO-15, "RADIATOR (ALUMINUM TYPE)" .
7. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging
pipe.
Changing A/T FluidELS000BW
1. Warm up A/T fluid.
2. Stop engine.
3. Drain A/T fluid from drain plug and refill with new A/T fluid.
Always refill same volume with drained fluid.
4. Run engine at idle speed for five minutes.
5. Check fluid level and condition. Refer to MA-40, "
Checking A/T Fluid" . If fluid is still dirty, repeat steps 2
through 5.
Checking Transfer OilELS000BT
Check for oil leakage and oil level.
(For details, refer to TF-10, "
Inspection" .)
