*2: With the technical performances of oil ACEA B3/B4.
*3: Use Genuine NISSAN engine coolant, or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminium corrosion within the engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuineengine coolant. Note that any repairs for the incidents within the engine cooling system while using non-genuine engine coolant may not be covered by the warranty, eve n
if such incidents occurred during the warranty period. Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for more information regarding the coolant type and capacity.
*4: Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Matic Fluid (ATF) type S will cause deterioration in driveability and automatic transmission durability and may dam- age the automatic transmission, which is not covered by the NISSAN warranty.
*5: Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2. Using CVT fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid (NS-2) will damage the CVT transmission system, which is not covered by the NISSAN warranty.
*6: Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for servicing.
*7: If Genuine NISSAN low viscosity gear oil LV MT-1 75W is not available, Genuine NISSAN gear oil HQ Multi 75W-85 or gear oil meeting SAE 75W-85 API GL4 specifications may be used.

9-4Technical information

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Petrol engine
Unleaded petrol with an octane rating of at least 95
(RON) must be used.
CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol. Using leaded petrol will
damage the catalytic converter.
Diesel engine
EN590 Diesel fuel of at least 51 cetane must be
used.
NOTE
Use only low sulphur diesel.
If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer
or winter fuel properly according to the following
temperature conditions.
Above –7°C (20°F)...Summer type diesel fuel.
Below–7°C(20°F)...Wintertypedieselfuel.
If you are in any doubt, please consult a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop.
CAUTION
Do not use home heating oil, petrol or other
alternate fuels in the diesel engine, this can
cause engine damage.
Do not add petrol or other alternate fuels to
diesel fuel.
Do not use summer fuel at temperatures be-
low –7°C (20°F). The cold temperatures will
cause wax to form in the fuel. As a result, it
may prevent the engine from running
smoothly.
RECOMMENDED SAE VISCOSITY
NUMBER Petrol engine oil
5W-30 is preferable. If 5W-30 is not available,
select the viscosity from the chart, that is suit-
able for the outside temperature range.
Diesel engine oil
K9K engine without DPF:
5W-30 is preferable. If 5W-30 is not available,
select the viscosity from the chart, that is suit-
able for the outside temperature range.
M9R engine without DPF:
ONLY use 5W40 or 0W40
K9K and M9R engine with DPF (where fitted)
or R9M engine:
ONLY use 5W30 low SAPS
Manual gear oil
For manual transmission:
75W80 or 75W85 (depending on the manual
transmission type) is preferable.
For transfer and rear differential:
– 80W90 is preferable.
– For hot areas: 90 is suitable for ambient tem-
peratures below 40 °C.
– For very hot areas: 140 for the differential gear.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT
RECOMMENDATIONS (where fitted)
The air conditioning system in this NISSAN ve-
hicle must be charged with the HFC-134a (R-
134a) refrigerant and the Genuine NISSAN A/C
System Oil Type S or the exact equivalents.
Use of any other refrigerants or lubricants will cause
severe damage and will lead to the vehicle’s entire
air conditioning system replacement.
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere is not
recommended. The new refrigerant HFC-134a (R-
134a) in your NISSAN vehicle will not harm the
earth’s ozone layer. However it may contribute in a
small part to global warming. NISSAN recommends
that the refrigerant be recovered and recycled.
Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
when servicing the air conditioning system.
