RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
Engine Oil Recommendation
INFOID:0000000012432246
NISSAN recommends the use of an energy conservi ng 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 whic h do not have the specified quality label
should not be used as they could cause engine damage.
Anti-Freeze Coolant Mixture RatioINFOID:0000000012432247
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a pre-diluted mixture of 50% Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) and 50% water to provide year-round anti-freeze and coolant protection. The anti-
freeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional engine cooling system additives are not nec-
essary.
WARNING:
• Do not remove the radiator or coolant reservoir cap when the engine is hot. Wait until the engine and radiator cool down. Serious burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from the radia-
tor.
• The radiator is equipped with a pressure type radiator cap. To prevent engine damage, use only a
Genuine NISSAN radiator cap.
CAUTION:
• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Lo ng Life Antifreeze/Cool-
ant (blue) or equivalent. Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is pre-diluted to pro-
vide antifreeze protection to -34 °F (-37 °C). If additional freeze protect ion is needed due to weather
where you operate your vehicle, add Genuine NISSAN long life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) concentrate
following the directions on the container. If an equivalent coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long
Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is used, follow the coolant manufact urer’s instructions to maintain
minimum antifreeze protection to -34 °F (-37 °C). The use of other types of coolant solutions other
than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent may damage the engine
cooling system.
• Mixing any other type of coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue),
including Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (green), or the use of non-distilled water will
reduce the life expectancy of the factory filled coolant.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, position the vehicle so that it is level and check the engine oil level. If engine is already
started, stop it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and check that the engine oil level is withinthe range (A) as shown.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE
• Check engine oil for white milky appearance or excessive contamination.
• If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highl y probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
ENGINE OIL LEAKS
Check for engine oil leaks around the following areas:
• Oil pan (upper and lower)
• Oil pan drain plug
• Oil pressure sensor
• Oil filter
• Oil cooler
• Oil level sensor
• Engine oil temperature sensor
• Intake valve timing control solenoid valve
• Exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve
• Mating surface between front cover and rocker cover
• Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
• Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
• Crankshaft oil seals (front and rear)
• Front cover

WARNING:
• Be careful not to burn yoursel
f, as engine oil may be hot.
• When checking engine oil pressure, sh ift selector should be in the "P" (Park) or "N" (Neutral) posi-
tion, and apply parking brake securely.

2. Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure switch. Remove oil pressure switch using suitable tool and install suitable tools
(A/B).
CAUTION:
Do not drop or shock oil pressure switch.
3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
4. Check engine oil pressure with engine running under no-load. NOTE:
• When engine oil temperature is low, engine oil pressure becomes high.
• If difference is extreme, check oil passage and oil pump for engine oil leaks.
5. After the inspections, install oil pressure switch as follows:
a. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to oil pressure switch and engine.
b. Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure switch to specification. Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent. Refer to GI-22, "
Recommended Chemical Products and
Sealants".
6. Check engine oil level.
7. After warming up engine, check that there is no engine oil leaks with the running engine.
ENGINE OIL : DrainingINFOID:0000000012432260
WARNING:
• Be careful not to get burned, as 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 engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thorough ly with soap or hand cleaner as
soon as possible.

• Do not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.
CAUTION:
• When installing wheels, ti ghten them diagonally by dividing the work two to three times in order to
prevent the wheels from d eveloping any distortion.
• Be careful not to tighten the wh eel nuts to a torque exceeding speci fication to prevent strain on the
