In case of low engine oil level, refer to “En-
gine oil” in the “Do-it-yourself ” section for
the proper engine oil refilling procedure.
Oil change schedule set up (if so
equipped)
It is possible to adjust the interval distance
to oil change by pushing the trip odometer
reset switch on the instrument panel lo-
cated near the speedometer for 3 seconds
while the wrench symbol and distance to
oil change are displayed. The symbol and
distance display will start flashing and the
display shows the current interval. Push
the switch to increase the interval distance.
Each step increases the interval distance
by 500 mi (1,000 km). The interval distance
can be set up to 18,000 mi (30,000 km) af ter
which the display returns to zero.
If no further action is made, the display
returns to oil display status indication and
the new interval is set.
If the interval distance is set to 0, the display
will skip the distance to oil change informa-
tion and wrench symbol display mode and
will directly display the oil display status (“Oil
Good” or “Oil Lo”). In order to return to the
distance to oil change information and
wrench symbol display mode, push the trip
computer change button on the instru-ment panel located near the speedometer
for approximately 3 seconds af ter the igni-
tion switch has been turned to the ON po-
sition, and adjust the distance to oil change
schedule as previously described.
For additional information, refer to “Stan-
dard maintenance” in the “Maintenance
and schedules” section of this manual.
CAUTION
∙ The oil level should be checked regu-
larly. Operating with insufficient
amount of oil level can damage the
engine and such damage is not cov-
ered by the warranty.
∙ NISSAN recommends checking the oil level every 3,000 mi (5,000 km).
