ensure the resistance strength and
creeping characteristics against high ex-
haust gas temperature. In addition,
further cooling effects are secured by
taking in air through the duct on the
undercover, to cool the area around the
muffler, and by applying partial plate
thickness reduction. Since genuine tita-
nium mufflers are made of titanium alloy,
the surface color will change depending
on the driving conditions, which is not
unusual. Prior to shipping from factory, all
vehicles receive balance aligning for en-
gine, transmission, and clutch, as well as
quench driving of brake pads and rotors.
As a result, the muffler surface color may
differ depending on the vehicle.
Never remove the trunk carpet from the
vehicle for any reason. The carpet insu-
lates the vehicle interior from the heat of
the muffler and from the noise of the
transmission.
Never Allow Oil or Grease to Adhere to
the Titanium Muffler.
If the muffler is heated when oil or grease
adhere to the muffler surface, the color of
this area will be different from that of the
surrounding area. To remove the oil or
grease, check that the surface tempera-
ture of the muffler has cooled, wash the
area with a neutral detergent, wipe it witha brake cleaner-sprayed clean shop cloth
and gently tap it with a dry shop cloth to
dry. Be careful not to allow the brake
cleaner to splatter on rubber parts, bum-
per, etc.

Oil additivesNISSAN does not recommend the use of
oil additives. The use of an oil additive is
not necessary when the proper oil type is
used and maintenance intervals are fol-
lowed.
Oil which may contain foreign matter or
has been previously used should not be
used.Oil viscosityThe engine oil viscosity or thickness
changes with temperature. Because of
this, it is important that the engine oil
viscosity be selected based on the tem-
peratures at which the vehicle will be
operated before the next oil change.
Choosing an oil viscosity other than that
recommended could cause serious en-
gine damage.Selecting the correct oil filterYour new vehicle is equipped with a high-
quality genuine NISSAN oil filter. NISSAN
recommends to use the genuine NISSAN
oil filter for the reason described in
