RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
Engine Oil Recommendation
INFOID:0000000005145939
NISSAN recommends the use of an energy conserving oil in order to
improve fuel economy. Select only engine oils that meet the Ameri-
can Petroleum Institute (API) certification and International Lubricant
Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) certification and
SAE viscosity standard (2). These oils have the API certification
mark (1) on the front of the container. Oils which do not have the
specified quality label should not be used as they could cause
engine damage.
ANTI-FREEZE COOLANT MIXTURE RATIO
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality, long life, year-round, anti-freeze coolant
solution. The anti-freeze solution contains rust and co rrosion inhibitors. Therefore, additional cooling system
additives are not necessary.
CAUTION:
• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-freeze cool-
ant or equivalent with the proper mixture ratio of 50% anti-freeze and 50% demineralized water or
distilled water.
• Other types of coolant solution s may damage your cooling system.

9. When the vacuum gauge has reached the specified
amount, disconnect the air hose and wait 20 seconds
to see if the system loses any vacuum. If the vacuum level drops, perform any necessary repairs to the
system and repeat steps 6 - 8 to br ing the vacuum to the specified amount. Recheck for any leaks.
10. Place the coolant container (with the refill hose inserted) at the same level as the top of the radiator. Then
open the ball valve on the refill hose so the coolant will be drawn up to fill the cooling system. The cooling
system is full when the vacuum gauge reads zero.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the coolant container to get too low when filling, to avoid air from being drawn into
the cooling system.
11. Remove the Tool from the radiator neck opening and install the radiator cap.
12. Remove the non-vented reservoir cap.
13. Fill the cooling system reservoir tank to the specified level. Run the engine to warm up the cooling system and top up the system as necessary befor e installing the vented reservoir cap.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Drain the water from the engine cooling system. Refer to MA-17, "ENGINE COOLANT : Changing Engine
Coolant".
2. Fill the radiator and the reservoir tank (to the “MAX” line), with water. Reinstall the radiator cap and leave
the vented reservoir cap off.
3. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
4. Press the engine accelerator two or three times under no-load.
5. Stop the engine and wait until it cools down.
6. Drain the water from the engine cooling system. Refer to MA-17, "
ENGINE COOLANT : Changing Engine
Coolant".
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 until clear water begins to drain from the radiator.
FUEL LINES
FUEL LINES : Checking Fuel LineINFOID:0000000005403135
Inspect fuel lines, fuel filler cap and fuel tank for improper attach-
ment, leaks, cracks, damage, loos e connections, chafing or deterio-
ration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
FUEL FILTER
FUEL FILTER : Changing Fuel FilterINFOID:0000000005259654
The fuel filter is part of the fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter and fuel pump assembly and cannot be replaced
separately. Refer to FL-7, "
Removal and Installation".
WARNING:
Before replacing the fuel filter, release the fuel pressure from the fuel system. Refer to EC-489, "
Fuel
Pressure Check".

EVAP VAPOR LINES : Checking EVAP Vapor LineINFOID:0000000005259660
1. Visually inspect the EVAP vapor lines for improper attachment, cracks, damage, loose connections, chaf-
ing, or deterioration.
2. Inspect the vacuum relief valve of the fuel tank filler cap for clogging and sticking. Refer to EC-491, "
How
to Detect Fuel Vapor Leakage" .

COMBINATION METER
• Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge, engine coolant temperature gauge, engine oil pres-
sure gauge, voltage gauge and information display are controlled by the unified meter control unit, which is
built into the combination meter.
• Warning and indicator lamps are controlled by the unified meter control unit and by components connected directly to the combination meter.
• Digital meter is adopted for odo/trip meter.* *The record of the odometer is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected. The record of the trip meter is
erased when the battery cable is disconnected.
• Odo/trip meter segments can be checked in diagnosis mode.
• Meter/gauge can be checked in diagnosis mode.
