bility, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by the INFINITI new vehicle limited warranty.
*3: DEXRON
TM VI type ATF may also be used.
*4: Available in mainland U.S.A. through an INFINITI dealer.
*5: For further details, see “Air conditioner specification label”.
*6: For hot climates, viscosity SAE 90 is suitable for ambient te mperatures above 0° C (32 ° F).
*7: For improved vehicle performance, INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at leas t 91
AKI (RON 96). For further details, refer to GI-27, "
Precaution for Fuel (Unleaded Premium Gasoline Recommended)",
*8: See an INFINITI dealer for service for synthetic oil.

• To flush out the old A/T fluid from the transmission o
il coolers, pour new A/T fluid into the A/T fluid charg-
ing pipe with the engine idling and at the same time drain the old A/T fluid from the auxiliary transmis-
sion oil cooler hose return line.
• When the color of the A/T fluid coming out of the aux iliary transmission oil cooler hose return line is
about the same as the color of the new A/T fluid, flushing out the old A/T fluid is complete. The amount
of new A/T fluid used for flushing should be 30% to 50% increase of the specified capacity.
CAUTION:
• If Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF is not available, Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF may also be used.
• Using ATF fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF or Matic J ATF will cause deterioration
in driveability and A/T durability, and may damage the A/T, which is not covered by the warranty.
• When filling the transmission with A/T fluid, do not spill the A/T fluid on any heat generating
parts such as the exhaust parts.
• Do not reuse the drain plug gasket.
5. Install the A/T fluid level gauge and tighten t he A/T fluid level gauge bolt to specification.
6. Drive the vehicle to warm up the A/T fluid to approximately 80 ° C (176 ° F).
7. Check the fluid level and condition. If the A/T fluid is still dirty, repeat steps 2 through 6.
8. Install the A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging pipe and install the A/T fluid level gauge bolt.
9. Tighten the A/T fluid level gauge bolt to specification.
Checking Transfer FluidINFOID:0000000004215545
CAUTION:
If using the vehicle for towing, the transfer fluid must be replaced as specified. Refer to MA-8, "
Intro-
duction of Periodic Maintenance".
FLUID LEAKAGE AND FLUID LEVEL
1. Make sure that fluid is not leaking from the transfer assembly or around it.
2. Check fluid level from the filler plug hole as shown.
CAUTION:
Do not start engine while checking fluid level.
3. Install the filler plug with a new gasket to the transfer. Tighten to the specified torque. Refer to DLN-142, "
Disassembly and
Assembly".
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket. A/T fluid grade and capacity : Refer to MA-12, "
