VQ37VHR engineGUID-56F5CD3A-A544-4686-906F-C955B1D33E06Use unleaded premium gasoline 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 regular gasoline with an octane rating
of 87 AKI number (Research octane number 91)
may be temporarily used, but only under the
following precautions:
.Have the fuel tank filled only partially with
unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with
unleaded premium gasoline as soon as
possible.
. Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt accel-
eration.
Use unleaded premium gasoline for max-
imum vehicle performance.
CAUTION
. Using a fuel other than that speci-
fied could adversely affect the emis-
sion control systems, and may also
affect warranty coverage. .
Under no circumstances should a
leaded gasoline be used, since this
will damage the three way catalyst.
. Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your
vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed
to run on E-15 or E-85 fuel. Using E-
15 or E-85 fuel in a vehicle not
specifically designed for E-15 or E-
85 fuel can adversely affect the
emission control devices and sys-
tems of the vehicle. Damage caused
by such fuel is not covered by the
NISSAN new vehicle limited war-
ranty.
. U.S. government regulations require
ethanol dispensing pumps to be
identified by a small, square, orange
and black label with the common
abbreviation or the appropriate per-
centage for that region.
For additional information, see ªCapacities and
recommended fluids/lubricantsº (P.9-2) .
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATION:GUID-00850FC6-19BE-4FA4-B3C0-04359AF5A0AB. Genuine NISSAN engine oil or equivalent
. Engine oil with API Certification Mark
. Viscosity SAE 5W-30
See ªCapacities and recommended fluids/lubri-
cantsº (P.9-2) for engine oil and oil filter

center pillar or on the driver's door. For
additional information, see ªWheels and tiresº
(P.8-30) .
NEW VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCE-
DURES RECOMMENDATION:
GUID-4CC7389B-960C-4ED3-8256-5A0EF0CF1D0DDuring the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of
