NOTE:
(1) Inspect once per year.
 Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Con-
ditions”.
MAINTENANCE UNDER SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS
(Annual Mileage >30,000 Km/year)

B — Driving repeatedly short distances or door to door driving
C — Towing a trailer or caravan
D — Extensive idling or urban driving
E — Driving in extremely adverse weather conditions or in areas where ambient temperatures are either
extremely low or extremely high
F — Driving in high humidity areas or in mountainous areas
G — Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials
H — Driving on rough and/or muddy roads or in the desert
I — Driving with frequent use of braking or in mountainous areas
J — Frequent off road use or driving in water
K —Sustained high speed driving
L — For models without Euro-OBD system (For petrol engine models)

Fluids and LubricantsINFOID:0000000001277599
*1: For further details, see “SAE Viscosity Number”.
*2: Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion within the engine
cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant.
Note that any repairs for the incidents within the engine cooling system while using non-genuine engine coolant may not be
covered by the warranty even if such incidents occurred during the warranty period.
*3: Contact a NISSAN dealership for more information regarding suitable fluids, including recommended brand(s) of DEXTRON™™
Automatic Transaxle Fluid.

DRIVE BELTS
DRIVE BELTS : CheckingINFOID:0000000001730848
 Inspection should be done only when engine is cold or over 30
minutes after the engine is stopped.
 Visually check belts for wear, damage, and cracks on inside and
edges.
 Turn crankshaft pulley two time clockwise, and make sure tension on all pulleys is equal before doing the
test.
 When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the ( ) marked point.
 Measure the belt tension and frequency with acoustic tension gauge (commercial service tool) at the ( )
marked point.
CAUTION:
 When the tension and frequency are measured, the acoustic tension gauge should be used.
 When checking immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after turning
crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified value to avoid variation in deflection
between pulleys.
DRIVE BELTS : Tension AdjustmentINFOID:0000000001730849
CAUTION:
 When belt is replaced with new one, adjust belt tension to the value for “New belt”, because new belt
will not fully seat in the pulley groove.
 When tension of the belt being used exceeds “Limit”, adjust it to the value for “After adjusted”.
 When installing a belt, make sure it is correctly engaged with the pulley groove.
 Never allow oil or engine coolant to get on the belt.
 Never twist or bend the belt strongly.
1. Loosen the idler pulley lock nut (A) from the tightening position
with the specified torque by 45 degrees.

ENGINE OIL : DrainingINFOID:0000000001730852
WARNING:
 Be careful not to get burned, as engine oil may be hot.
 Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin
contact with used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as
soon as possible.
1. Warm up the engine, and check for engine oil leakage from engine components. Refer to LU-6, "
Inspec-
tion".
2. Stop the engine and wait for 10 minutes.
3. Loosen oil filler cap.
4. Remove drain plug and then drain engine oil.

CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
2. Refill with new engine oil.
Engine oil specification and viscosity: Refer to MA-19, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
CAUTION:
 The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifica-
tions for reference only.
 Always use oil level gauge to determine the proper amount of engine oil in the engine.
3. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for engine oil leakage.
4. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
5. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-6, "
Inspection".

RADIATOR : Checking Radiator Cap
INFOID:0000000001730871
 Check valve seat of radiator cap.
- Check if valve seat is swollen to the extent that the edge of the
plunger cannot be seen when watching it vertically from the top.
- Check if valve seat has no soil and damage.
 Pull negative-pressure valve to open it, and make sure that it is
completely closed when released.
- Make sure that there is no dirt or damage on the valve seat of radi-
ator cap negative-pressure valve.
- Make sure that the valve operates properly in the opening and
closing conditions.
 Check radiator cap relief pressure using suitable tool.
- When connecting the radiator cap to the tester, apply water or
coolant to the cap seal surface.
- Replace the radiator cap if there is an abnormality in the negative-
pressure valve, or if the open-valve pressure is outside of the stan-
dard values.
 Replace radiator cap if there it does not comply to specifications to the above three checks.
CAUTION:
When installing radiator cap, thoroughly wipe out the radiator filler neck to remove any waxy residue
or foreign material.
RADIATOR : Checking RadiatorINFOID:0000000001730872
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as follows.
 Be careful not to bend or damage radiator fins.
 When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all surrounding parts such as cooling fan, radiator shroud
and horns. Then tape harness and connectors to prevent water from entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core vertically downward.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surface once per minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from radiator.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically downward.
 Use compressed air lower than 490 kPa (4.9 bar, 5 kg/cm
2, 71 psi) and keep distance more than 30 cm
(11.8 in).
5. Blow air again into all the radiator core surfaces once per minute until no water sprays out.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, park vehicle on a level surface and check the engine oil level. If engine is already
started, stop it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within
the range (A) as shown.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE
 Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.
 If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE
Check for engine oil leakage around the following areas:
 Oil pan (upper and lower)
 Oil pan drain plug
 Oil pressure switch
 Oil filter
 Intake valve timing control solenoid valve
 Front cover
 Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
 Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
 Crankshaft oil seals (front and rear)
 Oil filter (for intake valve timing control)
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
 Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
 For engine oil pressure check the transaxle should be in “Neutral position”, and apply the parking
brake securely.2 : Air cleaner filter
