InspectionINFOID:0000000001381537
OIL LEVEL AND MUDDINESS
Before starting the engine, check the oil level placing the vehicle
on a level surface. If the engine is already started, stop it and allow
10 minutes before checking.
Make sure the oil level is within the range shown.
If it is out of range, adjust it.
Check the oil for white turbidity or remarkable contamination.
If the oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is
contaminated with coolant. Find the cause and repair.
OIL LEAKAGE
Check for oil leakage around the following area.
Oil pan
Oil pan drain plug
Oil pressure switch
Oil filter bracket
Vacuum pump
Oil pump housing
Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
Oil cooler
Crankshaft oil seals
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
Oil pressure check should be done in Neutral “N” position.
1. Check the engine oil level.
2. Remove engine undercover using power tool.
3. Disconnect the electrical connector (A) and remove the oil pres-
sure switch (1) to connect the oil pressure gauge [SST:
KV113E0020 (Mot. 836-05)].
4. After warming up the engine, make sure oil pressure corre-
sponding to the engine speed is produced.
5. After checking, install the oil pressure switch (1) as follows.
a. Remove old sealant adhering to the oil pressure switch (1) and
engine.
b. Apply thread sealant.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
6. Start engine and check for oil leakage.

DrainingINFOID:0000000001381538
WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer: try to avoid direct skin
contact with used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon as
possible.
1. Put the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine components.
3. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Loosen oil filler cap.
5. Remove drain plug and then drain engine oil.
RefillingINFOID:0000000001381539
1. Refill with new engine oil.
The refill capacity depends on the oil temperature and drain time.
Use these specifications for reference only.
Always use the dipstick to determine when the proper amount of oil
is in the engine.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
The refill capacity depends on the oil temperature and drain
time. Use these specifications for reference only.
Always use the dipstick to determine when the proper amount of oil is in the engine.
2. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for oil leakage.
3. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Check oil level and add engine oil as necessary. Refer to LU-26, "
Inspection". Oil capacity

1. Remove engine undercover using power tool.
2. Using an oil filter wrench [SST: KV113C0010 (Mot. 1329)],
remove oil filter.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to get burned when the engine and engine
oil are hot.
When removing, prepare a shop cloth to absorb any oil
leakage or spillage.
Do not allow engine oil to adhere to the drive belts.
Completely wipe off any oil that adhere to the engine and
the vehicle.
3. Remove foreign materials adhering to the oil filter installation
surface.
4. Install oil filter bracket to oil cooler.
CAUTION:
Install oil filter bracket, positioning lug in the hole of oil cooler.
5. Apply engine oil to the oil seal contact surface of the new oil fil-
ter.
6. Install the oil filter until it comes into contact with the oil seal on
the engine bracket.
7. Using an oil filter wrench [SST: KV113C0010 (Mot. 1329)],
tighten oil filter.
8. After warming up the engine, check for engine oil leakage.
9. Check oil level and add engine oil as necessary. Refer to LU-26,

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
General MaintenanceINFOID:0000000001277597
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 the
checks and inspections themselves or they can have their NISSAN dealers do them for a nominal charge.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle,
etc.
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel.
Item Reference page
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge periodically when at a service station, including
the spare, and adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully for
damage, cuts or excessive wear.WT-7, "
Tire"
Windshield wiper
bladesCheck for cracks or wear if not functioning correctly. —
Doors and engine
hoodCheck that all doors, the engine hood, the trunk lid and back door operate prop-
erly. Also ensure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary. Make sure
that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the primary latch is
released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check for lu-
brication frequently.MA-57, "

Steering wheelCheck that it has the specified play.
Check for changes in the steering conditions, such as excessive free play, hard
steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in)—
Seat beltsCheck that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly, and are installed securely. Check the
belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.MA-57

NOTE:
Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Con-
ditions”.
(1)Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
(2) Replace the drive belt if found damaged.
(3) First replace at 90,000 Km (54,000 miles)/60 months, then every 60,000 km (36,000 miles)/48 months. Perform "I" (Check-
ing the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.
(4) Fuel filter is maintenance-free. For service procedures, refer to FL section.
(5) Perform only according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving conditions” for models without Euro-OBD system. For
models with Euro-OBD system, periodic maintenance is not required.
