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.
1. Check engine oil level.
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.

Do not use a wire brush for cleaning.
• Checking and adjusting spark plug gap is not required between change intervals. Do not adjust the gap; replace the spark plug as
necessary if out of specification.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Do not drop or shock the spark plug.
*: Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.
CAUTION:
Always tighten the spark plug to specified torque to align the orie ntation of electrodes. The ground
electrode of a genuine spark plug is positioned in the area of maximum ignitability by tightening to the
specified torque. When replacing spark plugs, use genuine spark pl ugs of which the ground electrode
is adjusted.

CVT FLUID : AdjustmentINFOID:0000000012432269
CAUTION:
• Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3. Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN
CVT Fluid NS-3 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the (NISSAN new vehicle limited) war-
ranty.
• 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).
• 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 “L”, 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 drain plug. Refer to TM-242, "
Removal and Installation".
8. Install the charging pipe set (KV311039S0) (A) into the drain 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 lmp qt) of the CVT fluid.

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, remove the charging pipe from the oil pan.
13. Tighten the drain plug to the specified torque. Refer to TM-242, "
Removal and Installation".
CAUTION:
Never reuse drain plug gasket.

• Check clutch line for cracks, deterioration or other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
• Check for fluid leakage by fully depressing clutch pedal while engine is running.
CAUTION:
If leaks occur around connections, reinstall th e lines or replace damaged parts, if necessary.
FLUID LEVEL
• Check that the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the specified
range, between the MAX and MIN lines as shown.
• Visually check for any clutch fluid leaks around the reservoir tank.
• Check the clutch system for any leaks if the fluid level is extremely low (lower than MIN).
