*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.

NISSAN recommends the use of an energy conser ving oil in order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API) certification and International Lubrica-
tion Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) ce rtification and SAE viscosity standard. These oils
have the API certification mark on the front of the container. Oils which do not have the specified quality label
should not be used as they could cause engine damage.
Anti-freeze Coolant Mixture RatioINFOID:0000000005931136
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory wit h a high-quality, long life, year-round, anti-freeze coolant
solution. The anti-freeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Therefore, additional cooling system
additives are not necessary.
CAUTION:
• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to u se only Genuine NISSAN Long Life AntiFreeze / Cool-
ant (blue) or equivalent with the 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-fi ll coolant.

been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause injury or
property damage. Additional health and safety info rmation may be obtained from refrigerant manu-
facturers.
Oil PrecautionINFOID:0000000005930828
• Use only specified oil for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components. If oil
other than that specified is used, comp ressor malfunction is likely to occur.
• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) oil rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The following handling
precautions must be observed:
- When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
- When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just before con- necting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to minimize the
entry of moisture into system.
- Only use the specified oil from a sealed container. Imm ediately reseal containers of oil. Without proper seal-
ing, oil will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
• Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat.
Use only approved recovery/recycling equipment to discharge HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant. If accidental
system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Additional health and safety informa-
tion may be obtained from refrigerant and oil manufacturers.
• Do not allow A/C oil to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Damage may result.
Precaution for Refrigerant ConnectionINFOID:0000000005930829
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to a ll refrigerant lines except the following location.
• Expansion valve to evaporator
• Refrigerant pressure sensor to condenser
FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
• The O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This elimi-
nates the chance of the O-ring being caught in, or damaged by, the mating part. The sealing direction of the
O-ring is now set vertically in relation to the contacti ng surface of the mating part to improve sealing charac-
teristics.
• The reaction force of the O-ring will not occur in the direction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby facili- tating piping connections.

O-Ring Specifications*
* : Always check with the parts department for the latest parts information.
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
• When the compressor is removed, store it in the sam e position as it is when installed on the vehicle.
Doing so will cause oil to en ter the low-pressure chamber.
• When connecting tubes, always use a to rque wrench and a back-up wrench.
• After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all op enings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
• When installing an air conditione r in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-
tion. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for con-
nection.
• Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
• Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
• Always replace used O-rings.
• When connecting tube, apply the speci fied A/C oil to circle of the O-rings. Be careful not to apply oil
to threaded portion. Refer to MTC-96, "
Oil".
• O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
• When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
• Connect tube until you hear it cl ick, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
• After connecting line, perform leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the refrigerant leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

PREPARATION
HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Tool and EquipmentINFOID:0000000005930833
Never mix HFC-134a refrigerant and/or its specified oil with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/or its oil.
Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/oil.
Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles
refrigerant and/or oil) are different between CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid mixed
use of the refrigerants/oil.
Adapters that convert one size fitting to another must never be used refrigerant/oil contamination will occur
and compressor failure will result.
