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.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE (QR20DE·QR25DE)

Checking Fuel LinesELS000ZG
Inspect fuel lines, filler cap and tank for improper attachment, leaks,
cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration. If nec-
essary, repair or replace damaged parts.
Changing Air Cleaner FilterELS000ZH
VISCOUS PAPER TYPE
The viscous paper type filter does not need cleaning between
replacement intervals. Refer to MA-7, "
PERIODIC MAINTE-
NANCE" .
Changing Engine OilELS000ZI
WARNING:

Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.

Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct
skin contact with used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand
cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, put vehicle horizontally and check for oil leakage from engine components. Refer to LU-
7, "ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE" .
2. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
3. Loosen oil filler cap and then remove drain plug.
4. Drain engine oil.
5. Install drain plug with new washer. Refer to EM-27, "
OIL PAN
AND OIL STRAINER" .
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
6. Refill with new engine oil.

CAUTION:

The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifica-
tions for reference only.

Always use oil level gauge to determine the proper amount of engine oil 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.
Changing Oil FilterELS000ZJ
REMOVAL
1. Open oil filter installation/removal cover on RH undercover.
2. Using an oil filter wrench (special service tool), remove oil filter.
CAUTION:

Oil filter is provided with relief valve. Use Genuine Nissan
Oil Filter or equivalent.

Be careful not to get burned when engine and engine oil

3. Screw oil filter manually until it touches the installation surface,
then tighten it by 2/3 turn. Or tighten to specification.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Start engine, and make sure there is no leaks of engine oil.
2. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
3. Check the engine oil level and adjust engine oil. Refer to MA-24, "
Changing Engine Oil" .
Checking and Changing Spark PlugsELS000ZK
REMOVAL
1. Remove ignition coil. Refer to EM-31, "IGNITION COIL" .
2. Remove spark plug with spark plug wrench (commercial service
tool).
CAUTION:
Do not drop or shock it.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL (EXCEPT FOR RUSSIA)
Use standard type spark plug for normal condition.
Hot type spark plug is suitable when fouling occurs with standard type spark plug under conditions such as:

Frequent engine starts

Low ambient temperatures
Cold type spark plug is suitable when spark plug knock occurs with standard type spark plug under conditions
such as:

Extended highway driving

Frequent high engine revolution

Check plug gap of each spark plug.

If out of standard, adjust or replace spark plug.

Use a wire brush for cleaning, if necessary.Oil filter:
