so could lead to engine damage.
6. Coat the gasket on the new filter with clean engine oil.
7. Screw in the oil filter clockwise until a slight resistance is felt, then tighten
additionally more than 2/3 turn.
Oil filter tightening torque:11 to 15 ft-lb
(14.7 to 20.6 N·m)
8. Clean and re-install the drain plug with a new washer. Securely tighten
the drain plug with a wrench.
Drain plug tightening torque:
22 to 29 ft-lb
(29.4 to 39.2 N·m)
Do not use excessive force.
9. Refill the engine with the recom- mended oil through the oil filler open-
ing, and install the oil filler cap
securely.
See “Capacities and recommended
fluids/lubricants” (P.10-3) for drain
and refill capacity. The drain and refill
capacity depends on the oil tempera-
ture and drain time. Use these speci-
fications for reference only. Always
use the dipstick to determine the
proper amount of oil in the engine. 10. Start the engine and check for leak-
age around the drain plug and the oil
filter. Correct as required.
11. Turn the engine off and wait more than 10 minutes. Check the oil level
with the dipstick. Add engine oil if
necessary.
After the operation
1. Reinstall undercover in reverse orderof removal.
2. Lower the vehicle carefully to the ground.
3. Reset the Oil Control System (if so equipped) and oil and filter mainte-
nance reminder. (See “Maintenance”
(P.2-29).) When checking or replacement is re-
quired, we recommend a NISSAN dealer
for servicing.
CAUTION
.
NISSAN recommends using Gen-
uine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3 (or
equivalent) ONLY in NISSAN CVTs.
Do not mix with other fluids.
. Do not use Automatic transmis-
sion fluid (ATF) or Manual Trans-
mission fluid in a NISSAN CVT, as
it may damage the CVT. Damage
caused by the use of fluids other
than as recommended is not
covered by the NISSAN’s New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
. Using fluids that are not equiva-
lent to Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid
NS-3 may also damage the CVT.
Damage caused by the use of
fluids other than as recom-
mended is not covered under
the NISSAN’s New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE
TRANSMISSION (CVT) FLUID

For additional brake fluid information, see
“Capacities and recommended fluids/lu-
bricants” (P.10-3) of this manual.
WARNING
.Use only new fluid from a sealed
container. Old, inferior or con-
taminated fluid may damage the
brake system. The use of impro-
per fluids can damage the brake
system, and affect the vehicle’s
stopping ability.
. Clean the filler cap before remov-
ing.
. Brake fluid is poisonous and
should be stored carefully in
marked containers out of the
reach of children.
CAUTION
Do not spill the fluid on any painted
surfaces. This will damage the paint.
If fluid is spilled, immediately wash
the surface with water.
WAI0186X
Check the fluid level in the reservoir. If the
fluid is below the MIN lineor the brake
warning light comes on, add Genuine
NISSAN Super Heavy Duty Brake Fluid or
equivalent DOT 3fluid up to the MAX line
and it is recommended you have your
vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as
soon as possible. If fluid must be added
frequently, the system should be checked.

BRAKE FLUID WINDOW WASHER FLUID

It is recommended you contact a NISSAN
dealer if checking or replacement is
required.If the brakes do not operate properly, it is
recommended you have the brakes
checked by a NISSAN dealer.
SELF-ADJUSTING BRAKES
Your vehicle is equipped with self-adjust-
ing brakes.
The disc-type brakes self-adjust every
time the brake pedal is applied.
WARNING
Have your brake system checked if
the brake pedal height does not
return to normal. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
BRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING
The disc brake pads have audible wear
warnings. When a brake pad requires
replacement, it will make a high pitched
scraping sound when the vehicle is in
motion. This scraping sound will first
occur only when the brake pedal is
depressed. After more wear of the brake
pad, the sound will always be heard even
if the brake pedal is not depressed. Have
the brakes checked as soon as possible if
the wear warning sound is heard.
Under some driving or climate conditions,occasional brake squeak, squeal or other
noise may be heard. Occasional brake
noise during light to moderate stops is
normal and does not affect the function
or performance of the brake system.
Proper brake inspection intervals
should be followed.
For additional infor-
mation, see the maintenance schedule
shown in the “9. Maintenance and sche-
dules” section.
