Engine Oil RecommendationINFOID:0000000001328898
NISSAN recommends the use of an energy conser ving oil in order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API) certification and International Lubri-
cant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) certification and SAE viscosity standard. These oils
have the API certification mark on the front of the c ontainer. Oils which do not have the specified quality label
should not be used as they could cause engine damage.
