PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
Schedule 2NLS00007
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or replace if necessary. [ ]: At the mileage intervals only
NOTE:
(1) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts if found
damaged or if auto belt tensioner reading reaches maximum limit.
(2) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, refer to FL section.
(3) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, replace every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
(4) If valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by NISSAN 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) 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 transmission, which is not covered by the NISSAN new
vehicle limited warranty.
(2) Tires cannot be rotated in this vehicle. Refer to “Tire rotation” under the “GENERAL MAINTENANCE” heading earlier in this section. MAINTENANCE OPERATIONMAINTENANCE INTERVAL

Checking Differential Gear OilNLS0000P
Check for oil leakage.
Changing Differential Gear OilNLS0000Q
1. Drain oil from drain plug and refill with new gear oil.
2. Check oil level.
CAUTION:
Gaskets are not reusable. Never reuse them.
Balancing Wheels (Bonding Weight Type)NLS0000R
REMOVAL
1. Remove inner and outer balance weights from the road wheel.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.
2. Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the road wheel.
CAUTION:

Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.

After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road
wheel.
WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENT

If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting,
select and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for road wheels.
1. Set road wheel on tire balance machine using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.
2. When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the tire balance machine indicator, multiply outer
unbalance value by 5/3 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight
with a value closest to the calculated value above and install it to the designated outer position of, or at the
designated angle in relation to the road wheel.Level gauge bolt:

Tire RotationNLS0000S
CAUTION:
Do not include the T-type spare tire when rotating the tires.
Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.
NOTE:
Tire cannot be rotated in vehicle, as front tire are different size from rear tire and the direction of wheel rotation
is fixed in each tire.
Checking Brake Fluid Level and LeaksNLS0000T

If fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
Checking Brake Lines and CablesNLS0000U

Check brake fluid lines and parking brake cables for improper
attachment, leaks, chafing, abrasions, deterioration, etc.
Changing Brake FluidNLS0000V
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, "
BRAKE FLUID" .

Refill with recommended Genuine Brake Fluid or equivalent
DOT 3 (US FMVSS No. 116).
Refer to MA-11, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .

Never reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.
Checking Disc BrakeNLS0000W
ROTOR
Check condition, wear, and damage.
