2. Stop engine. Remove drain plug (1) and drain oil.
3. Install a new gasket onto drain plug (1) and install it into tran-
saxle. Tighten drain plug to specification. Refer to TM-628,
"Exploded View" (RS5F91R) or TM-672, "Exploded View"
(RS6F94R).
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.
FILLING
1. Remove filler plug (1). Fill with new oil until oil level reaches the
specified limit at filler plug hole as shown.
2. After refilling oil, check oil level. Install a new gasket on filler plug
(1), then install it into transaxle. Tighten filler plug to specifica-
tion. Refer to TM-628, "
Exploded View" (RS5F91R) or TM-672,
"Exploded View" (RS6F94R).
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.
Checking A/T Fluid: RE4F03BINFOID:0000000001730901
1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for A/T fluid leakage.
3. Before driving, A/T fluid level can be checked at A/T fluid tem-
peratures of 30 to 50°C (86 to 122°F) using the “COLD” range
on A/T fluid level gauge.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi-
tion. Leave selector lever in “P” position.
c. Check A/T fluid level with engine idling.

2. Stop engine. Remove drain plug (1) and drain oil.
3. Set a new gasket on drain plug (1) and install it to transaxle and
tighten drain plug to the specified torque. Refer to Exploded
View.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.
REFILLING
1. Remove filler plug (1). Fill with new oil until oil level reaches the
specified limit near filler plug hole as shown.
2. After refilling oil, check oil level.
3. Set a new gasket on filler plug (1), then install it to transaxle and
tighten to the specified torque. Refer to TM-635, "

CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.
Balancing WheelsINFOID:0000000001730925
Adjust wheel balance using road wheel center.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.
Use clip-on type wheel balance weights only.
Wheel balance (Maximum allowable unbalance):
RotationINFOID:0000000001730926
Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.
Refer to MA-7, "
Periodic Maintenance".
Do not include the T-type spare tire when rotating 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
specification to prevent damage of disc rotor.

A/T FLUID
5. Refill the transaxle with new specified A/T fluid through the A/T fluid charging pipe. Always refill the tran-
saxle with the same volume of A/T fluid that was drained out.
6. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
7. Check A/T fluid level and condition. Refer to TM-171, "
Checking A/T Fluid".
A/T Fluid Cooler CleaningINFOID:0000000001731916
Whenever the A/T is repaired, overhauled, or replaced, the A/T fluid cooler mounted in the radiator must be
inspected and cleaned.
Metal debris and friction material, if present, can become trapped in the A/T fluid cooler. This debris can con-
taminate the newly serviced A/T or, in severe cases, can block or restrict the flow of A/T fluid. In either case,
malfunction of the newly serviced A/T may result.
Debris, if present, may build up as A/T fluid enters the cooler inlet. It will be necessary to back flush the cooler
through the cooler outlet in order to flush out any built up debris.
A/T FLUID COOLER CLEANING PROCEDURE
1. Identify the A/T inlet and outlet fluid cooler hoses.
2. Position an oil pan under the A/T inlet and outlet fluid cooler
hoses.
3. Disconnect the A/T fluid cooler inlet and outlet rubber hoses
from the steel cooler tubes or bypass valve.
NOTE:
Replace the cooler hoses if rubber material from the hose
remains on the tube fitting.
4. Allow any A/T fluid that remains in the cooler hoses to drain into
the oil pan.
5. Insert the extension adapter hose of a can of Transmission
Cooler Cleaner (Nissan P/N 999MP-AM006) into the cooler out-
let hose.
CAUTION:
Wear safety glasses and rubber gloves when spraying the
Transmission Cooler Cleaner.
Spray Transmission Cooler Cleaner only with adequate
ventilation.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Do not breath vapors or spray mist.
6. Hold the hose and can as high as possible and spray Transmis-
sion Cooler Cleaner in a continuous stream into the cooler outlet
hose until A/T fluid flows out of the cooler inlet hose for 5 seconds.
7. Insert the tip of an air gun into the end of the cooler outlet hose.
8. Wrap a shop rag around the air gun tip and end of cooler outlet
hose.
9. Blow compressed air regulated to 5 - 9 kg/cm
2 (70 - 130 psi) through the cooler outlet hose for 10 seconds
to force out any remaining A/T fluid.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 three additional times.Fluid grade and capacity: Refer to MA-19, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
