4. Install the Tool by installing the radiator cap adapter onto theradiator neck opening. Then attach the gauge body assembly
with the refill tube and the venturi assembly to the radiator cap
adapter.
5. Insert the refill hose into the coolant mixture container that is placed at floor level. Make sure the ball valve is in the closed
position.
• Use Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-freeze coolant or equiva-
lent, mixed 50/50 with distilled water or demineralized water.
Refer to MA-12, "
Engine Oil Recommendation" .
6. Install an air hose to the venturi assembly, the air pressure must be within specification.
CAUTION:
The compressed air supply must be equipped with an air
dryer.
7. The vacuum gauge will begin to rise and there will be an audible hissing noise. During this process open the ball valve on the refill hose slightly. Coolant will be vi sible rising in the refill hose. Once the refill hose is
full of coolant, close the ball valve. This will purge any air trapped in the refill hose.
8. Continue to draw the vacuum until the gauge reaches 28 inches of vacuum. The gauge may not reach 28 inches in high altitude
locations, refer to the vacuum specifications based on the alti-
tude above sea level.
9. When the vacuum gauge has reached the specifi ed amount, disconnect the air hose and wait 20 seconds
to see if the system loses any vacuum. If the vacuum level drops, perform any necessary repairs to the
system and repeat steps 6 - 8 to bring the vacuum to the specified amount. Recheck for any leaks.
10. Place the coolant container (with the refill hose insert ed) at the same level as the top of the radiator. Then
open the ball valve on the refill hose so the coolant will be drawn up to fill the cooling system. The cooling
system is full when the vacuum gauge reads zero.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the coolant container to get too low when filling, to avoid air from being drawn into
the cooling system.
11. Remove the Tool from the radiator neck opening and install the radiator cap.
12. Remove the non-vented reservoir cap.
13. Fill the cooling system reservoir tank to the specif ied level. Run the engine to warm up the cooling system
and top up the system as necessary before installing the vented reservoir cap.

3. Remove the air cleaner filter from the air cleaner case (lower).
4. Install the new air cleaner filter in the air cleaner case (lower).
5. Install the air cleaner case (upper) and connect the harness connector.
6. Install the air duct and resonator assembly.

WARNING:
• Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and engine oil are 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. Warm up the engine, and check for any oil leaks.
2. Stop the engine and wait for at least 10 minutes.
3. Remove the oil drain plug and oil filler cap to drain the old oil.
4. Install a new washer on the oil drain plug, then install the oil drain plug in the oil pan.
CAUTION:
Clean the drain plug and install with a new washer.
5. Refill the engine with new specified engine oil.
CAUTION:
The refill capacity depends on th e oil temperature and drain time. Use the “Refill oil capacity” val-
ues as a reference and check the oil level using th e dipstick when filling the engine with oil.
6. Warm up the engine and check the area around the dr ain plug and oil filter for any oil leaks.
7. Stop the engine and wait for more than 10 minutes.
8. Check the oil level using the dipstick as shown. Add oil as nec- essary and install the oil filler cap.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill the engine with oil.

1. Drive the vehicle to warm up the ATF to 80
° C (176 ° F).
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the ATF level gauge bolt.
4. Drain the ATF from the drain plug hole and then install the drain plug with a new gasket. Refill the transmission with new ATF.
Always refill with the same volume as the drained ATF. Use the
ATF level gauge to check the ATF level as shown. Add ATF as
necessary.
• To flush out the old ATF from the coolers, pour new ATF into the charging pipe with the engine idling and
at the same time drain the old ATF from the aux iliary transmission oil cooler hose return line.
• When the color of the ATF coming out of the auxiliary transmission oil cooler hose return line is about
the same as the color of the new ATF, flushing out the old ATF is complete. The amount of new trans-
mission ATF used for flushing should be 30% to 50% of the specified capacity.
CAUTION:
• Use only the specified ATF. Do not mix with other fluids.
• Using an ATF other than the speci fied ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and automatic
transmission durability, and may damage the au tomatic transmission, which is not covered by
the warranty.
• When filling the transmission with ATF, do not spill the ATF on any heat generating parts such as the exhaust manifold.
• Do not reuse the drain plug gasket.
5. Install the ATF level gauge in the ATF charging pipe and tighten the level gauge bolt to specification.
6. Drive the vehicle to warm up the ATF to 80 ° C (176 ° F).
7. Check the ATF level and condition. Refer to TM-178, "
Checking the A/T Fluid (ATF)". If the ATF is still
dirty, repeat steps 2 through 5.
