*1: For further details, see “Recommended SAE viscosity number” later in this section.
*2: Use Genuine NISSAN engine coolant, or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminium 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.Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for more information regarding the coolant type and capacity.
*3: Using fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Matic Fluid type D ATF may cause deterioration in driveability and automatic transmission durability and may damage the automatic trans-
mission, which is not covered by the NISSAN warranty.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Petrol engine
Unleaded petrol with an octane rating of at least 95
(RON) must be used.
CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol. Using leaded petrol will
damage the catalytic converter.
Diesel engine
EN590Diesel fuel of at least 51 cetane must be
used.
If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer
or winter fuel properly according to the following
temperature conditions.
•Above –7°C (20°F)...Summer type diesel fuel.
•Below–7°C(20°F)...Wintertypedieselfuel.
If you are in any doubt, please consult a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop.
CAUTION
•Do not use home heating oil, petrol or other
alternate fuels in the diesel engine, this can
cause engine damage.
•Do not add petrol or other alternate fuels to
diesel fuel.
•Do not use summer fuel at temperatures be-
low −7°C (20°F). Cold temperatures will cause
wax to form in the fuel and may prevent the
engine from running smoothly.

RECOMMENDED SAE VISCOSITY
NUMBER
5W-30 is preferable. If 5W-30 is not available,
select the viscosity from the chart, that is suit-
able for the outside temperature range.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT
RECOMMENDATIONS (where fitted)
The air conditioning system in this NISSAN ve-
hicle must be charged with the HFC-134a (R-
134a) refrigerant and the NISSAN A/C System
Oil Type R (CR14DE or HR16DE engine models)
or Type S (K9K engine models) lubricant, or the
exact equivalents.
Use of any other refrigerants or lubricants will cause
severe damage and will lead to the vehicle’s entire
air conditioning system replacement.
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere is not
recommended. The new refrigerant HFC-134a (R-
134a) in your NISSAN vehicle will not harm the
earth’s ozone layer. However it may contribute in a
small part to global warming. NISSAN recommends
that the refrigerant be recovered and recycled.
Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
when servicing your air conditioning system.
