RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
SAE Viscosity NumberELS001YH
SAE 5W-30 viscosity oil is preferred for all temperatures. SAE 10W-
30 and 10W-40 viscosity oil may be used if the ambient temperature
is above −18°C (0°F).
NOTE:
Use of 5W-30 viscosity oil will increase fuel economy.
Anti-freeze Coolant Mixture RatioELS001YI
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality, long life, year-round, anti-freeze coolant
solution. The anti-freeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Therefore, additional cooling system
additives are not necessary.
CAUTION:
When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only a Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-Freeze
coolant or equivalent with the proper mixture ratio.
The use of other types of coolant solutions may damage the engine cooling system.

Oil filter (3)
Vehicle front
4. Drain engine oil.
5. Install drain plug (2) with new washer. Refer to EM-24, "
OIL
PA N"
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug (2) and install with new washer.
6. Refill with new engine oil. Refer to MA-11, "
RECOMMENDED
FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .
CAUTION:
The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature
and drain time. Use these specifications 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 (2) and oil fil-
ter (3) for engine oil leakage.
8. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
9. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-5, "

.
Engine Oil FilterELS0020N
REMOVAL
1. Remove oil filter using Tool (A).
⇐ Front
CAUTION:
Oil filter is provided with relief valve. Use Genuine NIS-
SAN Oil Filter or equivalent.
Be careful not to get burned when engine and engine oil
may be hot.
When removing, prepare a shop cloth to absorb any
engine oil leakage or spillage.
Do not allow engine oil to adhere to drive belt.
Completely wipe off any engine oil that adheres to engine and vehicle.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove foreign materials adhering to the oil filter installation surface.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-
tion. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for
connection.
Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
Always replace used O-rings.
When connecting tube, apply oil to circle of the O-rings as shown. Be careful not to apply oil to
threaded portion.
O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
Connect tube until you hear it click, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
After connecting line, perform leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the refrigerant leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then
tighten connections of seal seat to the specified torque.
Precautions for Servicing CompressorEJS00570
Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor”
exactly. Refer to MTC-18, "
Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor" .
Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated, with oil,
wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner.
After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in
both directions. This will equally distribute oil inside the compressor. After the compressor is
installed, let the engine idle and operate the compressor for one hour.
After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for usual
operation.TYPE 1 Compressor (CR-10) : NISSAN A/C System Oil Type R

Maintenance of Oil Quantity in CompressorEJS00579
The oil in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add oil to compressor when
replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the specified
amount.
If oil quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
Lack of oil: May lead to a seized compressor.
Excessive oil: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
OIL
OIL RETURN OPERATION
Adjust the oil quantity according to the test group shown below.
1. CHECK OIL RETURN OPERATION
Can oil return operation be performed?
A/C system works properly.
There is no evidence of a large amount of oil leakage.
CAUTION:
If excessive oil leakage is noted, do not perform the oil return operation.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 3.
2. PERFORM OIL RETURN OPERATION, PROCEEDING AS FOLLOWS
1. Start engine, and set the following conditions:
–Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
–A/C blower switch: ON
–Blower speed: Max. position
–Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25° to 30°C (77° to 86° F)].
–Intake position: Recirculation (REC)
2. Perform oil return operation for about 10 minutes.
3. Stop engine.
>> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK REPLACEMENT PART
Should the compressor be replaced?
YES >> GO TO MTC-19, "OIL ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT" .
NO >> GO TO MTC-19, "

Always place air bag module with pad side facing upward.
CAUTION:
Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, discon-
nect both battery cables, then wait at least 3 minutes.
Do not attempt to repair or replace damaged direct-connect
SRS component connectors. If a driver air bag direct-con-
nect harness connector is damaged, the spiral cable must
be replaced.
Do not insert any foreign objects (screwdriver, etc.) into air
bag module or harness connectors.
Do not disassemble air bag module.
Do not expose the air bag module to temperatures exceeding 90°C (194°F).
Replace the air bag module if it has been dropped or sus-
tained an impact.
Do not allow oil, grease or water to come in contact with the
air bag module.
1. Disconnect the negative and positive battery cables, then wait at least 3 minutes.
