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
TM III/
MERCONTM Automatic Transmission Fluid.
*5: Never mix different types of fluids (DOT 3 and DOT 4). Capacity (Approximate)

ENGINE MAINTENANCE (QR20DE·QR25DE)

ENGINE MAINTENANCE (QR20DE·QR25DE)PFP:00100
Checking Drive BeltsELS000ZC
WARNING:
Be sure to perform this step when the engine is stopped.

Make sure that the indicator (notch on fixed side) of drive belt auto-tensioner is within the possible use
range (between three line notches on moving side).
NOTE:

Check the drive belt auto-tensioner indication when the engine is cold.

When new drive belt is installed, the indicator (notch on fixed side) should be within the range “a” in the
figure.

Visually check entire drive belt for wear, damage or cracks.

If the indicator (notch on fixed side) is out of the possible use range or belt is damaged, replace drive belt.
Tension AdjustmentELS000ZD
Belt tensioning is not necessary, as it is automatically adjusted by drive belt auto-tensioner.
Changing Engine CoolantELS000ZE
WARNING:

To avoid being scalded, do not change engine coolant when engine is hot.

Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap and carefully remove the cap. First, turn the cap a quarter
of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn the cap all the way.

Be careful not to allow engine coolant to contact drive belt.
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Remove RH and LH undercovers.
2. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator, and then
remove radiator cap.
