PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic MaintenanceINFOID:0000000003858222
The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric con-
ditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent mainte-
nance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.
ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL MAINTENANCE
(Annual Mileage < 30,000 km/year)
Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace,[ ] = At the specified mileage only.
NOTE:
Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Condi-
tions”.
(1) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
(2) Replace the drive belt if found damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.
(3) Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion within
the engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant.
First replace at 90,000 Km (54,000 miles)/60 months, then every 60,000 km (36,000 miles)/48 months. Perform "I" (Checking
the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.
(4) Fuel filter is maintenance-free. For service procedures, refer to FL section. MAINTENANCE OPERATIONMAINTENANCE INTERVAL

mileage.
