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. Check the engine oil level. Refer to MA-25, "Changing Engine Oil" .
2. Start engine, and check there is no leaks of engine oil.
3. Stop engine and wait for 15 minutes.
4. Check the engine oil level and add engine oil. Refer to MA-25, "
Changing Engine Oil" .
Changing Spark Plugs (Platinum-Tipped Type)NLS0006J
REMOVAL
1. Remove engine cover with power tool. Refer to EM-173, "ENGINE ROOM COVER" .
2. Remove ignition coil. Refer to EM-191, "
IGNITION COIL" .
3. Remove spark plug with spark plug wrench (commercial service tool).
CAUTION:
Do not drop or shock it.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
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
CAUTION:

Do not drop or shock spark plug. Oil filter:

Do not use wire brush for cleaning.

If plug tip is covered with carbon, spark plug cleaner may
be used.

Checking and adjusting plug gap is not required between
change intervals.
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
Checking EVAP Vapor LinesNLS0006K
1. Visually inspect EVAP vapor lines for improper attachment and for cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
2. Inspect fuel tank filler cap vacuum relief valve for clogging, sticking, etc.
Refer to EC-700, "
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM" .
Cleaner air pressure:
Less than 588 kPa (6 kg/cm
2 , 85 psi)
Cleaning time: Less than 20 seconds

Checking Exhaust SystemNLS0006L
Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper attachment,
leaks, cracks, damage, chafing or deterioration.

If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
Checking A/T FluidNLS0008L
1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for A/T fluid leakage.
3. Loosen the level gauge bolt.
4. Before driving, A/T fluid level can be checked at A/T fluid tem- peratures of 30 to 50 °C (86 to 122 °F) using “COLD” range on A/
T fluid level gauge as follows.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi- tion. Leave selector lever in “P” position.
c. Check A/T fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and wipe clean with lint-free paper.
CAUTION:
When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use
lint-free paper, not a cloth one.
e. Re-insert A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging pipe as far as it will go. CAUTION:
To check A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge until the cap contacts the end of the A/T
fluid charging pipe, with the A/T fluid level gauge reversed from the normal attachment conditions.
f. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and note reading. If reading is at low side of range, add ATF to the A/T fluid charging pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill.
5. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.
6. Make the A/T fluid temperature approximately 65 °C (149 °F).

Changing A/T FluidNLS0008M
1. Warm up ATF.
2. Stop engine.
3. Loosen the level gauge bolt.
4. Drain ATF from drain plug and refill with new ATF. Always refill same volume with drained ATF.

To replace the ATF, pour in new ATF at the A/T fluid charging
pipe with the engine idling, at the same time drain the old ATF
from the radiator cooler hose return side.

When the color of the ATF coming out is almost same as the
color of the new ATF, the replacement is complete. The
amount of new ATF to use should be 30 to 50% increase of
the stipulated amount.
CAUTION:

Use only Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF. Do not mix with other ATF.

Using ATF other than Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and A/
T durability, and may damage the A/T, which is not covered by the warranty.

When filling ATF, take care not to scatter heat generating parts such as exhaust.

Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
5. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
6. Check A/T fluid level and condition. Refer to MA-29, "
Checking A/T Fluid" . If ATF is still dirty, repeat step
2. through 5.
7. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging pipe.
8. Tighten the level gauge bolt.
Checking Transfer FluidNLS0006O
Check for fluid leakage and fluid level.
CAUTION:
Never start engine while checking fluid level. ATF: Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF

Checking Power Steering Fluid and LinesNLS00070
Check fluid level in reservoir tank with engine off.
Use “HOT” range at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F)
or “COLD” range at fluid temperatures of 0 to 30 °C (32 to 86 °F).
CAUTION:

Do not overfill.

Recommended fluid is Genuine NISSAN PSF or equivalent.
Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS"


Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, dam-
age, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.

Check rack boots for accumulation of power steering fluid.
Axle and Suspension PartsNLS00071
Check front and rear axle and suspension parts for excessive play,
cracks, wear or other damage.

Shake each wheel to check for excessive play.

Check wheel bearings for smooth operation.

Check axle and suspension nuts and bolts for looseness.

Check strut (shock absorber) for oil leakage or other damage.

Check suspension ball joint for grease leakage and ball joint
dust cover for cracks or other damage.
