WARNING:

Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and engine oil are hot.

Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct
skin contact with used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as
soon as possible.
1. Warm up the engine, and check for any oil leaks.
2. Stop the engine and wait for at least 10 minutes.
3. Remove the oil drain plug and oil filler cap to drain the old oil.
4. Install a new washer on the oil drain plug, then install the oil drain plug in the oil pan.
CAUTION:
Clean the drain plug and install with a new washer.
5. Refill the engine with new specified engine oil.
CAUTION:
The refill capacity depends on the oil temperature and drain time. Use the “Refill oil capacity” val-
ues as a reference and check the oil level using the dipstick when filling the engine with oil.
6. Warm up the engine and check the area around the drain plug and oil filter for any oil leaks.
7. Stop the engine and wait for more than 10 minutes.
8. Check the oil level using the dipstick as shown. Add oil as nec- essary and install the oil filler cap.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill the engine with oil.
Changing Oil FilterELS001PM
REMOVAL
1. Remove the engine front undercover using power tool.
2. Remove the oil filter using Tool as shown.
CAUTION:

The oil filter is equipped with a pressure relief valve.

Use Genuine NISSAN oil filter or equivalent.

Be careful not to get burned when the engine and engine
oil are hot.

When removing, prepare a shop cloth to absorb any
engine oil leaks or spills.

Do not allow engine oil to adhere to the drive belts.

Completely wipe off any engine oil that adheres to the engine and the vehicle.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove foreign materials adhering to the oil filter seal mating surface. Oil drain plug : Refer to EM-78, "
CYLINDER BLOCK" .
Oil grade and viscosity : Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants" .
Oil capacity : Refer to MA-11, "

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE
Revision: November 20092006 QX56

If the ATF contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), replace the radiator and flush the transmis-
sion cooler lines using cleaning solvent and compressed air after repairing the transmission.
9. Install the ATF level gauge in the ATF charging pipe and install the level gauge bolt.
10. Tighten the level gauge bolt to specification.
Changing Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)ELS001PR
1. Drive the vehicle to warm up the ATF to 80 ° C (176 ° F).
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the ATF level gauge bolt.
4. Drain the ATF from the drain plug hole and then install the drain plug with a new gasket. Refill the transmission with new ATF.
Always refill with the same volume as the drained ATF. Use the
ATF level gauge to check the ATF level as shown. Add ATF as
necessary.

To flush out the old ATF from the coolers, pour new ATF into the charging pipe with the engine idling
and at the same time drain the old ATF from the auxiliary transmission oil cooler hose return line.

When the color of the ATF coming out of the auxiliary transmission oil cooler hose return line is about
the same as the color of the new ATF, flushing out the old ATF is complete. The amount of new trans-
mission ATF used for flushing should be 30% to 50% of the specified capacity.
CAUTION:

Use only the specified ATF. Do not mix with other fluids.

Using an ATF other than the specified ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and automatic
transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by
the warranty.

When filling the transmission with ATF, do not spill the ATF on any heat generating parts such
as the exhaust manifold.

Do not reuse the drain plug gasket.
5. Install the ATF level gauge in the ATF charging pipe and tighten the level gauge bolt to specification.
6. Drive the vehicle to warm up the ATF to 80 ° C (176 ° F).
7. Check the ATF level and condition. Refer to MA-22, "
Checking Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)" . If
the ATF is still dirty, repeat steps 2 through 5.
