Removal and InstallationNBS005RL
CAUTION:
Be sure to use genuine exhaust system parts or equivalents which are specially designed for heat
resistance, corrosion resistance, and shape.
Perform the operation with the exhaust system fully cooled down because the system will be hot
just after engine stops.
Be careful not to cut your hand on the heat insulator edge.
REMOVAL
Disconnect each joint and mounting using power tool.
Remove heated oxygen sensor 2 as follows:
–Using heated oxygen sensor wrench (SST), removal heated
oxygen sensor 2.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage heated oxygen sensor 2.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Check for deformation of the grommets (18 and 20 of Components).
Insert the collar (17 of Components) vertically.
Install the collar (5 of Components) with its lower surface horizontal.
Temporarily tighten nuts and bolts when installing exhaust pipe assembly. Tighten them to the specified
torque when connecting the vehicle rear to the vehicle front.
CAUTION:
Always replace exhaust tube gaskets with new ones when reassembling.
Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped onto a hard surface such as a con-
crete floor. Use a new one.
Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean exhaust system threads using the heated
oxygen sensor thread cleaner [commercial service tool: J-43897-18 or J-43897-12], and apply the
anti-seize lubricant (commercial service tool).
Do not over torque heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may cause damage to heated oxygen sensor,
resulting in the “MIL” coming on.
If heat insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on the heat
insulator, remove them.
When installing heat insulator avoid large gaps or interference between heat insulator and each
exhaust pipe.
Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid
gases leakage.
Temporarily tighten mounting nuts on the exhaust manifold side and mounting bolts on the vehi-
cle side. Check each part for unusual interference, and then tighten them to the specified torque.
When installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down and right/
left directions.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Make sure clearance between tail tube and rear bumper is even.
With engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.
Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE (VQ35DE ENGINE)
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
INSTALLATION
1. Remove foreign materials adhering to oil filter installation surface.
2. Apply engine oil to the oil seal contact surface of new oil filter.
3. Screw oil filter manually until it touches the installation surface,
then tighten it by 2/3 turn. Or tighten to the specification.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to MA-18, "Changing Engine Oil" .
2. Start the engine, and check there is no leak of engine oil.
3. Stop the engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Check the engine oil level, and adjust the level. Refer to MA-18, "
Changing Engine Oil" .
Changing Spark Plugs (Platinum-Tipped Type)NLS0007O
REMOVAL
1. Remove engine cover with power tool. Refer to EM-21, "INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR" .
2. Remove ignition coil. Refer to EM-44, "
IGNITION COIL" .
3. Remove spark plug with a spark plug wrench (commercial ser-
vice tool).

ENGINE MAINTENANCE (VK45DE ENGINE)PFP:10001
Checking Drive BeltsNLS0007Q
WARNING:
Be sure to perform when the engine is stopped.
Remove air duct (inlet) when inspecting drive belt for alternator, water pump and A/C compressor.
Remove front engine undercover with power tool when inspecting power steering oil pump belt.
Make sure that indicator (single line notch) of each auto tensioner is within the allowable working range
(between three line notches).
NOTE:
Check auto tensioner indication when engine is cold.
When new drive belt is installed, the range should be “A”.
The indicator notch is located on the moving side of the tensioner for alternator, water pump and A/C
compressor belt, while it is found on the fixed side for power steering oil pump belt.
Visually check entire belt for wear, damage or cracks.
If the indicator is out of allowable working range or belt is damaged, replace belt.
Tension AdjustmentNLS0007R
Belt tensioning is not necessary, as it is automatically adjusted by auto tensioner.
Changing Engine CoolantNLS0007S
WARNING:
To avoid being scalded, do not change engine coolant when engine is hot.
Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap and carefully remove radiator cap. First, turn radiator cap a
quarter of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn radiator cap all the way.
Be careful not to allow engine coolant to contact drive belts.
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Remove engine room cover (RH and LH) Refer to EM-173, "ENGINE ROOM COVER" .
2. Remove engine cover with power tool. Refer to EM-179, "
INTAKE MANIFOLD" .
3. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator, and then remove radiator cap.
