(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.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or replace if necessary. [ ]: At the mileage intervals only
(1) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belt if found
damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.
(2) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, refer to the FL section.
(3) First replacement interval is 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or 84 months. After first replacement, replace every 75,000 miles (120,000
km) or 60 months. Use only Genuine NISSAN long life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent with proper mixture ratio of 50% an ti-
freeze and 50% demineralized or distilled water. Mixing any other type of coolant or the use of non-distilled water will reduce the life
expectancy of the factory fill coolant.
(4) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by NISSAN for reliab le vehicle operation. The owner need not perform such
maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are
required.

On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceINFOID:0000000006416714
CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION
• Check installation conditions of steering gear assembly, front suspension assembly, axle and steering col-
umn assembly.
• Check if movement exists when steering wheel is mo ved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.
• Check steering gear assembly bolts and nuts for looseness. Refer to PS-15, "
Removal and Installation".
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY
• Turn steering wheel so that front wheels come to the straight-ahead position. Start engine and lightly turn
steering wheel to the left and right until front wheels start to move. Measure steering wheel movement on the
outer circumference.
• When the measurement value is outside the standard val ue, check backlash for each joint of steering col-
umn assembly and installation condition of steering gear assembly.
CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION STEERING WHEEL
• Make sure that steering gear assembly, steering column assembly and steering wheel are installed in the correct position.
• Perform neutral position inspection after wheel alignment. Refer to PS-2, "
Precaution for Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER"".
• Set vehicle to the straight-ahead position and c onfirm steering wheel is in the neutral position.
• Loosen outer socket lock nut and turn inner socket to left and right equally to make fine adjustments if steer-
ing wheel is not in the neutral position.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level and dry surface, set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has been turned 360 ° from neutral position using
Tool as shown.
4. If steering wheel turning force is out of the specification, refer to GI-9, "
How to Follow Trouble Diagnosis".
CHECKING FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE
Steering wheel axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
Steering wheel play : 0 - 35 mm (0 - 1.38 in)
Tool number : — (J-44372)
Steering wheel

• Check front wheel turning angle after toe-in inspection. Place front wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on stands.
Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning angles for LH
and RH road wheels.
• With the engine at idle, turn steering wheel from full left stop to full right stop and measure the turning angles.
• Measure rack stroke if angles are outside the specified value.
• Disassemble steering gear assembly to check the cause that rack stroke is outside of the standard.
• Steering angles are not adjustable. Check steering gear assembly, steering column assembly and front suspension components for
wear or damage if any of the turning angles are different from the
specified value. Replace any of them, if any non-standard condi-
tion exists.
