5. Perform the following inspection if engine oil does not
come out from valve timing control solenoid valve
oil hole of the valve timing control cover.
 Remove oil filter, and then clean it. Refer to EM-61, "
Exploded View".
 Clean oil groove between oil strainer and valve timing control solenoid valve. Refer to LU-5, "
Engine
Lubrication System" and LU-6, "Engine Lubrication System Schematic".
6. Remove components between valve timing control solenoid valve and camshaft sprocket, and then check each oil groove for clogging.
 Clean oil groove if necessary. Refer to LU-5, "
Engine Lubrication System" and LU-6, "Engine Lubrica-
tion System Schematic".
7. After inspection, install removed parts in the reverse order.
Inspection for Leakage
The following are procedures for chec king fluid leakage, lubricant leakage.
 Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If any are less than the
required quantity, fill them to the specified level. Refer to MA-10, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
 Follow the procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
- Turn ignition switch to the “ON” position (with engi ne stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping,
check for fuel leakage at connection points.
- Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
 Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in guide may generate a
pounding noise during and just after the engine start. However, this does not indicate a malfunction. The
noise will stop after hydraulic pressure rises.
 Warm up engine thoroughly to check that there is no leak age of fuel, or any oil/fluids including engine oil and
engine coolant.
 Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.
 After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill them to
the specified level, if necessary.

Dispose of used oil and used oil filters through authorized waste disposal contractors to licensed waste dis-
posal sites, or to the waste oil reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact the local authority for advice on disposal
facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, dow n sewers or drains, or into water sources.
The regulations concerning po llution vary between regions.
Air ConditioningINFOID:0000000006280875
Use an approved refrigerant recovery unit any time t he air conditioning system must be discharged. Refer to
HA section “REFRIGERANT” fo r specific instructions.
FuelINFOID:0000000006280876
INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded premium gasoli ne with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-
Knock Index) number (Research octane number 96).
If unleaded premium gasoline is not available, unleaded r egular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87
AKI number (Research octane number 91), can be used. In such case, engine performance may be decrease.
CAUTION:
 Using a fuel other than that specified could ad versely affect the emission control system, and may
also affect warranty coverage.
 Under no circumstances should a leaded gasoline be used, because this will damage the three-way
catalyst.
 Do not use E-85 fuel in the vehicle . The vehicle is not designed to run on E-85 fuel. Using E-85 fuel
can damage the fuel system components and is not covered by the INFINITI vehicle limited warranty.
