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
J — Frequent off road use or driving in water
K —Sustained high speed driving
L — For models without Euro-OBD system

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.

Fluids and LubricantsELS000C8
*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

Checking Differential Gear OilELS000BF
Check for oil leakage and oil level. (For details, refer to RFD-8,
"Checking Differential Gear Oil" .)
CAUTION:
Gaskets are not reusable. Never reuse them.
Changing Differential Gear OilELS000BG
1. Drain oil from drain plug and refill with new gear oil.
(For details, refer to RFD-8, "
Changing Differential Gear Oil" .)
2. Check oil level.
CAUTION:
Gaskets are not reusable. Never reuse them.
Balancing WheelsELS000BH
Adjust wheel balance using the road wheel center.
RotationELS000BI

After rotating the tires, adjust the tire pressure.

Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle has been driven for
1,000 km (600 miles) (also in cases of a flat tire, etc.).
CAUTION:
When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.Filler plug:
