RECOMMENDED FUEL:
MR20DE and QR25DE engine except Spec-V
Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane
rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) num-
ber (Research octane number 91) .
QR25DE engine Spec-V only
Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane
rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) num-
ber (Research octane number 96) .
If unleaded premium gasoline is not available,
unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating
of at lease 87 AKI (Research octane number 91)
can be used, but only under the following precau-
tions:
chave the fuel tank filled only partially with
unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with
unleaded premium as soon as possible.
cavoid full throttle driving and abrupt accel-
eration.
However, for maximum vehicle perfor-
mance, the use of unleaded premium gaso-
line is recommended.
CAUTION
cUsing a fuel other than that specified
could adversely affect the emission
control system, and may also affect the
warranty coverage.
cUnder no circumstances should a
leaded gasoline be used, because this
will damage the three-way catalyst.
cDo not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is not designed to run on
E-85 fuel. Using E-85 fuel can damage
the fuel system components and is not
covered by the NISSAN new vehicle lim-
ited warranty.
For additional information, see “Capacities and
recommended fuel/lubricants in the “Technical
and consumer information” section.
RECOMMENDED ENGINE OIL:

cViscosity SAE 5W-30
See “Engine oil and oil filter recommendation” in
the “Technical and consumer information” sec-
tion of this manual.

The label is typically located on the driver side
center pillar or on the driver’s door. For additional
information, see “Wheels and tires” in the “Main-
tenance and do-it-yourself” section.
