PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or replace if necessary. L = Lubricate.
(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil (exc. LSD) at
every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months, and change LSD gear oil every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months.
(2) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration with CON-
SULT-II every 60,000 miles (96,000 km), then change CVT fluid NS-2 if necessary. If CONSULT-II is not available, change (not just
inspect) CVT fluid NS-2 every 60,000 miles (96,000 km). Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will
damage the CVT, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
(3) Refer to “Tire rotation” under the “GENERAL MAINTENANCE” heading earlier in this section.
