ENGINE OIL : Changing Engine OilINFOID:0000000005403141
WARNING:
• Be careful not to burn yoursel f, as the engine oil is hot.
• Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may
cause skin cancer. Try to avoid di rect skin contact with used
engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap
or hand cleaner as soon as possible.

Engine oil capacity (Approximate):
Unit: (US qt, Imp qt)
CAUTION:
• The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifica-
tions for reference only.

A/T FLUID : Changing the A/T Fluid (ATF)INFOID:0000000005403152
CAUTION:
If using the vehicle for towing, the A/T fluid must be replaced as specified. Refer to
MA-9, "
Introduc-
tion of Periodic Maintenance".
1. Drive the vehicle to warm up the A/T fluid to approximately 80 ° C (176 ° F).
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the A/T fluid level gauge.
4. Drain the A/T fluid from the drain plug hole, then install the drain plug with a new gasket. Refill the transmission with new A/T
fluid. Always refill with the same volume as the drained A/T fluid.
Use the A/T fluid level gauge to check the A/T fluid level as
shown. Add A/T fluid as necessary.
• 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.

FUNCTION OF PRESSURE SWITCH
Pilot valve A Adjusts the line pressure and produces the constant pressure (pilot pressure) required
for line pressure control, shift change control, and lock-up control.
Pilot valve B Adjusts the line pressure and produces the constant pressure (pilot pressure) required
for shift change control.
Low coast brake switching valve During engine braking, supplies the line pressure to the low coast brake reducing valve.
Low coast brake reducing valve When the low coast brake is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure
(low coast brake pressure) and supplies it to the low coast brake.
N-R accumulator Produces the stabilizing pressure for when N-R is selected.
Direct clutch piston switching valve Operates in 4GR and switches the direct clutch coupling capacity.
High and low reverse clutch control valve When the high and low reverse clutch is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the opti-
mum pressure (high and low reverse clutch pressure) and supplies it to the high and low
reverse clutch. (In 1GR, 3GR, 4GR and 5GR, adjusts the clutch pressure.)
Input clutch control valve When the input clutch is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure (in-
put clutch pressure) and supplies it to the input clutch. (In 4GR and 5GR, adjusts the
clutch pressure.)
Direct clutch control valve When the direct clutch is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure (di-
rect clutch pressure) and supplies it to the direct clutch. (In 2GR, 3GR, and 4GR, adjusts
the clutch pressure.)
TCC control valve
TCC control plug
TCC control sleeve Switches the lock-up to operating or released. Also, by performing the lock-up operation
transiently, lock-up smoothly.
Torque converter lubrication valve Operates during lock-up to switch the torque converter, cooling, and lubrication system
oil path.
Cool bypass valve Allows excess oil to bypass cooler circuit without being fed into it.
Line pressure relief valve Discharges excess oil from line pressure circuit.
N-D accumulator Produces the stabilizing pressure for when N-D is selected.
Manual valve Sends line pressure to each circuit according to the select position. The circuits to which
the line pressure is not sent drain.
