and plenty of water as soon as
possible.
. Store used engine oil in marked
containers out of the reach of
children.
Vehicle set-up
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and
apply the parking brake.
2. Run the engine until it reaches the operating temperature.
3. Turn the engine off and wait more than 10 minutes.
4. Raise and support the vehicle using a suitable floor jack and safety jack
stands.

10-6Technical and consumer information
Oil viscosity
The engine oil viscosity or thickness
changes with temperature. Because of
this, it is important to select the engine oil
viscosity based on the temperatures at
which the vehicle will be operated before
the next oil change. Choosing an oil
viscosity other than that recommended
could cause serious engine damage.
Selecting the correct oil filter
Your new NISSAN vehicle is equipped with
a high-quality genuine NISSAN oil filter.
When replacing, use a genuine NISSAN oil
filter or its equivalent for the reason
described in “Change intervals”.
Change intervals
The oil and oil filter change intervals for
your engine are based on the use of the
specified quality oils and filters. Using an
engine oil and filter other than the
specified quality, or exceeding recom-
mended oil and filter change intervals
could reduce engine life. Damage to the
engine caused by improper maintenance
or use of incorrect oil and filter quality
and/or viscosity is not covered by the
NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
Your engine was filled with a high quality
engine oil when it was built. You do not
have to change the oil before the firstrecommended change interval.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM RE-
FRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT RE-
COMMENDATIONS
The air conditioning system in your
NISSAN vehicle must be charged with
the specified refrigerant and compres-
sor oil or equivalent. See the air condi-
tioner specification label. (See “Air
conditioner specification label” (P.10-
10).)
.
Type A
— HFC-134a (R-134a)
— A/C system oil ND-OIL8(PAG) or
equivalent
. Type B
— HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf)
— A/C system oil ND-OIL12(PAG) or
equivalent
CAUTION
The use of any other refrigerant or oil
may cause severe damage to the air
conditioning system and may re-
quire the replacement of all air con-
ditioner system components.
The refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) or HFO-
1234yf (R-1234yf) in your NISSAN vehicle will not harm the earth’s ozone layer.
Although this refrigerant does not affect
the earth’s atmosphere, certain govern-
mental regulations require the recovery
and recycling of any refrigerant during
automotive air conditioning system ser-
vice. A NISSAN dealer has the trained
technicians and equipment needed to
recover and recycle your air conditioning
system refrigerant.
It is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer when servicing your air condition-
ing system.
