COMMENDATIONS
GUID-C046CADC-EEC7-4559-80A5-8C3E565BC764The air conditioning system in your
NISSAN vehicle must be charged with the
refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the oil,
NISSAN A/C system oil Type R or the exact
equivalents.
CAUTION
The use of any other refrigerant or oil
will cause severe damage to the air
conditioning system and will require
the replacement of all air conditioner
system components. The refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your
NISSAN vehicle will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer. Although this refrigerant does not affect
the earth’s atmosphere, certain governmental
regulations require the recovery and recycling of
any refrigerant during automotive air condition-
ing system service. A NISSAN dealer has the
trained technicians and equipment needed to
recover and recycle your air conditioning system
refrigerant.
Contact a NISSAN dealer when servicing your
air conditioning system.

GUID-65089696-9315-4E34-8D54-D9EB5966EB4CFUEL RECOMMENDATION:GUID-2C01D4FF-9843-4D63-B45E-70CFE4EEB783NISSAN recommends the use of unleaded
premium gasoline with an octane rating of at
least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Re-
search octane number 96).
If unleaded premium gasoline is not available,
you may use unleaded regular gasoline with an
octane rating of at least 87 AKI number
(Research octane number 91), but you may
notice a decrease in performance.
CAUTION
.Using a fuel other than that speci-
fied could adversely affect the emis-
sion control systems, and may also
affect warranty coverage.
. Under no circumstances should a
leaded gasoline be used, since this
will damage the three way catalyst.
. Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your
vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed
to run on E-15 or E-85 fuel. Using E-
15 or E-85 fuel in a vehicle not
specifically designed for E-15 or E-
85 fuel can adversely affect the
emission control devices and sys- tems of the vehicle. Damage caused
by such fuel is not covered by the
NISSAN new vehicle limited war-
ranty.
. U.S. government regulations require
ethanol dispensing pumps to be
identified by a small, square, orange
and black label with the common
abbreviation or the appropriate per-
centage for that region.
For additional information, see “Capacities and
recommended fuel/lubricants” (P.9-2) .ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATION:GUID-F5A9AF76-18BF-48BC-877D-8F48F0AA5F27. Engine oil with API Certification Mark
. Viscosity SAE 5W-30
See “Capacities and recommended fuel/lubri-
cants” (P.9-2) for engine oil and oil filter
recommendation.
COLD TIRE PRESSURES:GUID-02F03445-CAD7-4CC4-A25E-15D4C27C5795The label is typically located on the driver side

DURES RECOMMENDATION:

vehicle use, follow the recommendations out-
lined in the “Break-in schedule” (P.5-30) of this
Owner’s Manual. Follow these recommenda-
tions for the future reliability and economy of
your new vehicle.
