Removal and InstallationNBS004QG
REMOVAL
1. Remove engine assembly from vehicle. Refer to EM-247, "ENGINE ASSEMBLY" .
2. Remove front cover. Refer to EM-203, "
TIMING CHAIN" .
3. Remove oil pump drive spacer.

Set bolts in the two bolt holes [M6 × pitch 1.0 mm (0.04 in)] on
the front surface. Using suitable puller, pull oil pump drive
spacer off from crankshaft.
NOTE:
The dimension between the centers of the two bolt holes is 33
mm (1.30 in).
In the figure, a commercial steering puller is used.
4. Remove oil pump.
INSTALLATION
1. Install the oil pump.
2. Install oil pump drive spacer as follows:
a. Insert oil pump drive spacer according to the directions of crank-
shaft key and the two flat surfaces of oil pump inner rotor.

If the positional relationship does not allow the insertion,
rotate oil pump inner rotor with a finger to allow spacer.
b. After confirming that the position of each part is in correct condi-
tion to allow for spacer, force fit spacer by lightly tapping with
plastic hammer until it contacts and does not go further.

3. Install in the reverse order of removal after this step.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-27, "ENGINE OIL" .
2. Start engine, and check there is no leak of engine oil.
3. Stop engine and wait for 15 minutes.
4. Check the engine oil level and adjust engine oil. Refer to LU-27, "
ENGINE OIL" .
Disassembly and AssemblyNBS004QH
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove oil pump cover.
2. Remove oil pump inner rotor and oil pump outer rotor from oil pump body.
3. After removing regulator valve plug, remove regulator valve spring and regulator valve.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Oil Pump Clearance

Measure the clearance with feeler gauge.
–Clearance between oil pump outer rotor and oil pump body
(Position 1)
–Tip clearance between oil pump inner rotor and oil pump outer
rotor (Position 2)
–If out of the standard, replace inner rotor and outer rotor.

Measure the clearance with feeler gauge and straightedge.
–Side clearance between oil pump inner rotor and oil pump body
(Position 3)
–Side clearance between oil pump outer rotor and oil pump body
(Position 4)

Calculate the clearance between oil pump inner rotor and oil pump body as follows:
OIL PUMP INNER ROTOR OUTER DIAMETER
–Measure the outer diameter of protruded portion of oil pump
inner rotor with micrometer. (Position 5)Standard : 0.114 - 0.200 mm (0.0045 - 0.0079 in)
Standard : Below 0.180 mm (0.0071 in)

OIL PUMP BODY INNER DIAMETER
–Measure the inner diameter of oil pump body with inside
micrometer. (Position 6)
OIL PUMP INNER DIAMETER TO OIL PUMP BODY CLEARANCE
–(Clearance) = (Oil pump body inner diameter) – (Oil pump inner rotor outer diameter)

If the measured/calculated values are out of the standard, replace oil pump assembly.
Regulator Valve Clearance
(Clearance) = D1 (Valve hole diameter) – D2 (Regulator valve outer
diameter of valve)

If the calculated value is out of the standard, replace oil pump
assembly.
CAUTION:

Coat regulator valve with engine oil.

Make sure that it falls smoothly into regulator valve hole by
its own weight.
ASSEMBLY
Note the following, and assemble in the reverse order of disassembly.

Install oil pump inner rotor and oil pump outer rotor with the
punched marks on the oil pump cover side.

(2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.
(3) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, refer to FL section.
(4) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, replace every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
(5) If valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by INFINITI for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform
such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are
required.
CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or replace if necessary.
NOTE:
(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) fluid (A/T, trans-
fer)/oil at every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months. Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Matic J
ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmis-
sion, which is not covered by the INFINITI new vehicle limited warranty.
(2) Refer to “Tire rotation” under the “GENERAL MAINTENANCE” heading earlier in this section.MAINTENANCE OPERATIONMAINTENANCE INTERVAL

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
