Dispose of used oil and used oil ®lters through authorized waste
disposal contractors to licensed waste disposal sites, or to the
waste oil reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact the local authority
for advice on disposal facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down sewers or drains,
or into water courses.
The regulations concerning the pollution of the environment
will vary from country to country.
Precautions for Fuel
GASOLINE ENGINE:
Three way catalyst equipped models ... unleaded gasoline of at
least 91 octane (RON)
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will dam-
age the three way catalyst.
Except for the above models ... unleaded or leaded gasoline of
above 88 octane (RON)
Use unleaded fuel if instructed on the fuel ®ller lid.
DIESEL ENGINE*:
Diesel fuel of above 45 cetane for TD42 engine and above 50 cet-
ane for RD28ET engine
* If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or winter
fuel properly according to the following temperature conditions.
+Above þ7ÉC (20ÉF) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
+Below þ7ÉC (20ÉF) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
CAUTION:
+Do not use home heating oil, gasoline, or other alternate
fuels in your diesel engine. The use of those can cause
engine damage.
+Do not use summer fuel at temperature below þ7ÉC (20ÉF).
The cold temperature will cause wax to form in the fuel. As
a result, it may prevent the engine from running smoothly.
+Do not add gasoline or other alternate fuels to diesel fuel.
Precautions for Air Conditioning
Use an approved refrigerant recovery unit any time the air condi-
tioning system must be discharged. Refer to HA section (``HFC-
134a (R-134a) Service Procedure'', ``SERVICE PROCEDURES'')
for speci®c instructions.

Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in
Compressor
The lubricant used to lubricate the compressor circulates through
the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compressor when
replacing any component or after a large gas leakage occurred. It
is important to maintain the speci®ed amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following mal-
functions may result:
+Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor
+Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange
interference)
LUBRICANT
Name: Nissan A/C System Oil Type S
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the ¯owchart shown
below.
START
Can lubricant return operation be per-
formed?
+A/C system works properly.
+There is no evidence of a large amount of
lubricant leakage.
No
cYe s
Perform lubricant return operation, proceeding as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Start engine, and set the following conditions:
+Test condition
Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
A/C or AUTO switch: ON
Blower speed: Max. position
Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is
25 to 30ÉC (77 to 86ÉF).]
2. Perform lubricant return operation for about 10 minutes.
3. Stop engine.
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, do not perform the lubricant
return operation.
Should the compressor be replaced?
No Yes

Is there any part to be replaced?
(Evaporator, condenser, liquid tank or in
case there is evidence of a large amount of
lubricant leakage.)
No
cYe s
After replacing any of the following major components, add the correct
amount of lubricant to the system.
Amount of lubricant to be added
*1: If compressor is replaced, addition of lubricant is included in the ¯ow
chart.
*2: If refrigerant leak is small, no addition of lubricant is needed.

Liquid Gasket Application Procedure
a. Use a scraper to remove all traces of old liquid gasket from
mating surfaces and grooves. Also, completely clean any oil
from these areas.
b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating surfaces.
(Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.)
+For oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is 3.5 to 4.5 mm
(0.138 to 0.177 in).
+For areas except oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is
2.0 to 3.0 mm (0.079 to 0.118 in).
c. Apply liquid gasket around the inner side of bolt holes (unless
otherwise speci®ed).
d. Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coating.
e. Wait at least 30 minutes before re®lling engine oil and engine
coolant.
