 The refill capacity depends on the engine oi l temperature and drain time. Use these specifica-
tions for reference only.
 Always use oil level gauge to determine the pr oper amount of engine oil in the engine.
8. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for oil leakage.
9. Stop engine and wait for 15 minutes.
10. Check the engine oil level.

REMOVAL
WARNING:
Be careful not to get burned when th e engine and engine oil may be hot.
1. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
2. Using the oil filter wrench (SST), remove the oil filter. CAUTION:
 Oil filter is provided with relief valve. Use genuine NISSAN
oil filter or equivalent.
 When removing, prepare a s hop cloth to absorb any
engine oil leakage or spillage.
 Do not allow engine oil to adhere to drive belts.
 Completely wipe off any engine oil that adhere to engine
and vehicle.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove foreign materials adhering to oil filter installation surface.
2. Apply new engine oil to the oil seal circumference of the new oil filter.

Balancing Wheels (Bonding Weight Type)INFOID:0000000001328926
REMOVAL
Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the road wheel.
CAUTION:
 Be careful not to scratch th e road wheel during removal.
 After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wi pe 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 t hat should be used. Select the outer balance weight
with a value closest to the calculated value above and inst all it to the designated outer position of, or at the
designated angle in relation to the road wheel.
CAUTION:
 Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.
 Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the mating surface of the road wheel.
Indicated unbalance value × 5/3 = balance weight to be installed
Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz) × 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) ⇒ 40 g (1.41 oz) bal-
ance weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
Example:
37.4 ⇒ 35 g (1.23 oz)
37.5 ⇒ 40 g (1.41 oz)
Oil grade and Viscosity:
Refer to MA-9
