GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
GENERAL MAINTENANCEPFP:00000
Explanation of General MaintenanceNLS0007A
General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform
checks and inspections themselves or they can have their INFINITI dealers do them.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
ItemReference page
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge, including the spare, at least once a month
and always prior to a long distance trips. Adjust to the specified pressure if
necessary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.—
Wheel nutsWhen checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any
loose nuts. Tighten if necessary.—
WindshieldClean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the windshield at least every
six months for cracks or other damage. Repair as necessary.—
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 miles).MA-35
Wheel alignment and
balanceIf the vehicle pulls to either side while driving on a straight and level road, or if
you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel align-
ment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds, wheel
balancing may be needed.MA-33,
FSU-6
(2WD),
FSU-24
(AWD)
Windshield wiper
bladesCheck for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly. —
Doors and engine
hoodCheck that all doors and the engine hood operate smoothly as well as the
trunk lid. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary.
Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the pri-
mary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check lubri-
cation frequently.MA-38
LampsMake sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and
other lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check head-
lamp aim. Clean the headlamps on a regular basis. —

RotationNLS00088

Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service inter-
vals. Refer to MA-4, "
GENERAL MAINTENANCE" .

Do not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.
CAUTION:

When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.

Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the
criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.

Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.
Checking Brake Fluid Level and LeaksNLS00089

If fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
Checking Brake Lines and CablesNLS0008A

Check brake fluid lines and parking brake cables for improper
attachment, leaks, chafing, abrasions, deterioration, etc.
Changing Brake FluidNLS0008B
1. Drain brake fluid from each bleed valve.
2. Refill until new brake fluid comes out from each bleed valve.
Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to refill
brake fluid.
Refer to BR-10, "
Bleeding Brake System" .

Refill with recommended genuine Nissan Super Heavy Duty
Brake Fluid or equivalent DOT 3 (US FMVSS No. 116).
Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .

Never reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.Tightening torque of wheel nut

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
PrecautionsNES000J2

When installing rubber bushings, final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions with tires
on ground. Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
–Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.

After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.

Self-lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new self-lock nuts are pre-
oiled, tighten as they are.

On-Vehicle Inspection NES000J6
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component and component conditions
(wear, damage) are normal.
INSPECTION SUSPENSION ARM BALL JOINT AXIAL END PLAY
Measure axial end play by placing and moving up/down with an iron pry bar or something similar between sus-
pension arm and axle assembly.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage ball joint boot.
SHOCK ABSORBER INSPECTION
Check shock absorber for oil leakage, damage and replace if malfunction is detected.
Wheel Alignment InspectionNES000J7
DESCRIPTION
Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Check the following:
1. Tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-6, "
ROAD WHEEL" .
3. Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to RAX-5, "
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION" .
4. Ball joint axial end play of suspension arm. Refer to RSU-5, "
INSPECTION SUSPENSION ARM BALL
JOINT AXIAL END PLAY" .
5. Shock absorber operation.
6. Each mounting point of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
7. Each of front lower link, rear lower link, radius rod, rear suspension member, suspension arm and shock
absorber for cracks, deformation, and other damage.
8. Vehicle height (posture).
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

A four-wheel thrust alignment should be performed.
–This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
–The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel is
centered.
–The alignment rack itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
–The rack should be checked to ensure that it is level.

Make sure the machine is properly calibrated.
–Your alignment equipment should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.
–Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended Service/Calibration
Schedule.Standard value

c. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown in
the figure.
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
3. Start tire balance machine again.
4. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the
tire balance machine indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
5. Start tire balance machine. Make sure that inner and outer resid-
ual unbalance value are 7 g (0.25 oz) each or below.

If either residual unbalance value exceeds 7 g (0.25 oz), repeat installation procedures.
RotationNES000JQ

Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service inter-
vals. Refer to MA-7, "
