ENGINE OIL
• When engine oil temperature is low, engine oil pressure becomes high.
• If difference is extreme, check oil passage and oil pump for oil leaks.
6. After the inspections, install oil pressure switch as follows:
a. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to oil pressure switch.
b. Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure switch to the specification. Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent.
c. After warming up engine, make sure there are no engine oil leaks.
7. Install fender protector side cover (RH). Refer to EXT-26, "FENDER PROTECTOR : Exploded View"

WARNING:
• Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil may be hot.
• Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer: try to avoid direct skin
contact with used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon as
possible.
1. Position the vehicle so it is level on the hoist.
2. Warm up the engine and check for oil leaks from the engine.
3. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Remove the oil pan drain plug (1) and oil filler cap.
5. Drain the engine oil.
6. Install the oil pan drain plug with a new washer and refill the engine with new engine oil.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to clean the oil pan drain plug and install using a new washer.
• The refill capacity depends on the oil temper ature and drain time. Use these specifications for
reference only. Always use the oil level gauge to determine when the proper amount of oil is in
the engine.
7. Warm up the engine and check around the drain plug and oil filter for oil leaks.
8. Stop the engine and wait for 10 minutes.
9. Check the oil level using the oil level gauge. CAUTION:
Do not overfill the engine with engine oil. Engine oil pressure : Refer to

*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.

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.
