CHANGING WHEELS AND TIRES
Tire rotation
NISSAN recommends rotating the tires
every 5,000 miles (8,000 km).
For additional information on tire replac-
ing procedures, refer to “Flat tire” in the “In
case of emergency” section of this
manual.
As soon as possible, tighten the
wheel nuts to the specified torque
with a torque wrench.Wheel nut tightening torque:
98ft-lb (133 N·m)
The wheel nuts must be kept tight-
ened to specifications at all times. It
is recommended that wheel nuts be
tightened to specification at each
tire rotation interval.
FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Diesel engine
Commercially available diesel fuel is adjusted
seasonally for cold temperatures. NISSAN rec-
ommends the use of diesel fuel that has been
seasonally adjusted for temperatures below 32°F
(0°C)
Diesel fuel of above 42 cetane minimum above
32°F (0°C); 45 cetane minimum below 32°F
(0°C) and with less than 15 ppm of sulfur must be
used.
A cetane number below 42 can cause poor start-
ing, excessive white smoke, and poor idling. A
cetane number above 55 can increase smoke at
peak torque conditions.
If two types of diesel fuel are available, use sum-
mer or winter fuel properly according to the fol-
lowing temperature conditions.● Above 32°F (0°C)...Summer type diesel
fuel.
● Below 32°F (0°C)...Winter type diesel fuel.
If you are in any doubt, it is recommended that
you consult a NISSAN dealer.
