7. Refill engine with recommended oil through the oil filler opening, then install
the oil filler cap securely.
For additional information on drain and
refill capacity, refer to “Recommended
fluids/lubricants and capacities” in the
“Technical and consumer information”
section of this manual.
The drain and refill capacity depends on
the oil temperature and drain time. Use
these specifications for reference only.
Always use the dipstick to determine
when the proper amount of oil is in the
engine.

Except for Mexico
• Genuine “Nissan Motor Oil 0W-20 SN” is recommended.
• If above motor oil is not available, use “NISSAN Motor Oil”
equivalent that matches the following grade and viscosity.
• Oil grade: API SM or SN, ILSAC GF-4 or GF-5
