When checking or replacement is required,
we recommend an INFINITI retailer for
servicing.
CAUTION
.It is recommended that you use only
Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF. Do
not mix with other fluids.
. Using automatic transmission fluid
(ATF) other than Genuine NISSAN
Matic S ATF may cause deterioration
in driveability and automatic trans-
mission durability, and may damage
the automatic transmission. Damage
caused by use of fluids other than as
recommended is not covered by the
INFINITI new vehicle limited war-
ranty.

Check the fluid level in the reservoir.
The fluid level should be checked using the
HOT range (
: HOT MAX.,: HOT MIN.) at
fluid temperatures of 122 to 176°F (50 to
80°C) or using the COLD range (
: COLD
MAX.,: COLD MIN.) at fluid temperatures
of 32 to 86°F (0 to 30°C).
If the fluid is below the MIN line, add
Genuine NISSAN E-PSF. Remove the cap
and fill through the opening.
CAUTION
. Do not overfill. .
Recommended fluid is Genuine
NISSAN E-PSF or equivalent.

Maintenance items with “$ ” should be
performed more frequently according to
“Maintenance under severe driving condi-
tions” (P.9-12).
(1) Periodic maintenance is not required.
(2) If using a car-top carrier, or driving on
rough or muddy roads, change (not just
inspect) oil at every 20,000 miles (32,000
