*1: For additional information, see “Engine Oil Recommendation”.
*2: As an alternative to this recommended oil, SAE 5W-30 conventional petroleum based oil may be used and meet all specificatio ns
and requirements necessary to maintain the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
*3: NISSAN recommen ds Genuine NISSAN Ester Oil av ailable at a NISSAN dealer.
*4: Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS -3, using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3
will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
*5: Use of a power steering fluid other than Genuine NISSAN E-PSF will prevent the power steering system from operating properly.
*6: Available in mainland U. S.A. through a NISSAN dealer.
*7: For additional information, see "Air conditioner specification label".
FOR USA AND CANADA : En gine Oil RecommendationINFOID:0000000009464537
NISSAN recommends the use of an energy conserving o il in order to improve fuel economy. Select only
engine oils that meet the American Petroleum Institut e (API) certification and International Lubricant Standard-
ization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) certificati on 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.

34. Select “Data Monitor” in “TRANSMISSION” using CONSULT.
35. Select “CONFORM CVTF DETERIORTN”.
36. Select “Erase”.
37. Stop the engine.
CVT FLUID : AdjustmentINFOID:0000000009464569
CAUTION:
• During adjustment of the CVT fluid level, check CO NSULT so that the oil temperature may be main-
tained from 35 to 45 °C (95 to 113 °F).
• During adjustment of the CVT fluid level, check that the engine speed is maintaining 500 rpm.
• Use caution when looking into the drain hole as th ere is a risk of dripping fluid entering the eye.
1. Check that the selector lever is in the “P ” position, then completely engage the parking brake.
2. Start the engine.
3. Adjust the CVT fluid temperature to be approximately 40 °C (104 °F).
NOTE:
The CVT fluid is largely affected by temperature. Therefore be sure to use CONSULT and check the
“FLUID TEMP” under “TRANSMISSION” in “Data Monitor” while adjusting.
4. While depressing the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to the entire position from “P” to “DS”, and shift it to the “P” position.
NOTE:
Hold the lever at each position for 5 seconds.
5. Lift up the vehicle.
6. Check that there is no CVT fluid leakage.
7. Remove the overflow plug from converter housing.
8. Install the charging pipe set (KV311039S0) (A) into the overflow plug hole.
CAUTION:
Tighten the charging pipe by hand.
9. Install the ATF changer hose (B) to the charging pipe. CAUTION:
Press the ATF changer hose all the way onto the charging
pipe until it stops.
10. Fill approximately 0.5 liter (1/2 US qt, 1/2 lmp qt) of the CVT
fluid.
11. Remove the ATF changer hose from the charging pipe, and check that the CVT fluid drains out from the charging pipe. If it
does not drain out, perform charging again.
CAUTION:
Perform this work with the vehicle idling.
12. When the flow of CVT fluid slows to a drip, re move the charging pipe from the converter housing.
13. Tighten the overflow plug to the specified torque. Refer to TM-186, "Exploded View"
.

TM-212, "General Specification"

FLUID LEAKAGE
• Check transaxle surrounding area (oil seal and plug etc.)for fluid leakage.
• If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts and adjust
CVT fluid level. Refer to TM-286, "Adjustment"
.
CVT FLUID : ReplacementINFOID:0000000009464572
CAUTION:
• Always use shop paper. Do not use shop cloth.
• Replace a drain plug gasket with new ones at the fi nal stage of the operation when installing.
• Use caution when looking into the drain hole as there is a risk of dripping fluid entering the eye.
• After replacement, always pe rform CVT fluid leakage check.
1. Select “Data Monitor” in “TRANSMISSION” using CONSULT.
2. Select “FLUID TEMP” and confirm t hat the CVT fluid temperature is 40°C (104 °F) or less.
3. Check that the selector lever is in the “P ” position, then completely engage the parking brake.
4. Lift up the vehicle.
5. Remove the drain plug and drain the CVT fluid from the oil pan. Refer to TM-387, "Exploded View"
.
6. Install the drain plug to oil pan. CAUTION:
Drain plug gasket use the old one.
7. Remove the overflow plug from converter housing.
