Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Corr ect or replace if necessary. L = Lubricate.
(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil/f luid at every
30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
(2) If towing a trailer, using a camper or car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration with CON-
SULT-III every 60,000 miles (96,000 km), then change CVT fluid NS -2 if necessary. (Refer to CVT section) If CONSULT-III is not avail-
able, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid NS-2 every 60,000 miles (96,000 km). Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN
CVT Fluid NS-2 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
(3) Refer to “Tire rotation” under the “GENERAL MAINTENANCE” heading earlier in this section.

*1: For further details, see “Engine Oil Recommendation”.
*2: If Genuine NISSAN gear oil is not available, API GL-4, Viscosity SAE 75W-85 may also be used as a temporary replacement. How-
ever, use Genuine NISSAN gear oil as soon as it is available.
*3: If Genuine NISSAN ge ar oil is not available, API GL-4, Viscosity SAE 75W-80 may be used as a temporary replacement. However
use Genuine NISSAN gear oil as soon as it is available.
*4: If Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF is not available, Genuine NISSIAN Matic D ATF may also be used. Using automatic transmission
other than Genuine NISSAN Matic S or Genuine NISSIAN Matic D ATF will cause deteri oration in driveability and automatic transmis-
sion durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by th e NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
*5: Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2. Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will dam-
age the CVT, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
*6: Available in mainland U.S.A. through a NISSAN dealer.
*7: For further details, see “Air conditioner specification label”. Description
