PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
(1) After 40,000 miles (64,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts if found
damaged.
(2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.
(3) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, refer to FL section.
(4) First replacement interval is 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or 84 months. After first replacement, replace every 75,000 miles (120,000
km) or 60 months.
(5) Use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze / Coolant (blue) or equivalent with proper mixture ratio of 50% antifreeze and 50%
demineralized or distilled water. Mixing any other type of coolant or the use of non-distilled water will reduce the life expec tancy of the
factory-fill coolant.
(6) Replace spark plug when the spark plug gap exceeds 1.35 mm (0.053 in), even if within specified periodic replacement mileag e.
(7) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
*: Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by NISSAN for reli able vehicle operation. The owner need not perform
such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and inter vals are
required.

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.
