fuel type NISSAN MURANO 2005 1.G Owners Manual

FUEL FILLER CAPThe fuel filler cap is a ratcheting type. Turn the
cap counterclockwise
A
to remove.
To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until ratchet-
ing clicks are heard.
Put the fuel filler cap on the cap holder
Bwhile
refueling.
WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable andhighly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seri-
ously injured if it is misused or mis-
handled. Always stop the engine and
do not smoke or allow open flames
or sparks near the vehicle when refu-
eling.

Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the
cap a third of a turn, and wait for any
“hissing sound” to stop to prevent
fuel from spraying out and possibly
causing personal injury. Then remove
the cap.
Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts
off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray and
possibly a fire.

Use only an original equipment type
fuel filler cap as a replacement. It has
a built-in safety valve needed for
proper operation of the fuel system
and emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury. It
could also cause the
malfunc-
tion indicator lamp to come on.

Do not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable
fuel containers:
— Always place the container on the
ground when filling.
— Do not use electronic devices

REPLACING SPARK PLUGS
Platinum-tipped spark plugsIt is not necessary to replace the platinum-tippedAspark plugs as frequently as the conventional
type spark plugs since they will last much longer.
Follow the maintenance log, but do not reuse
them by cleaning or regapping.
If replacement is required, see a NISSAN dealer
for servicing.
Always replace with recommended
platinum-tipped spark plugs.To remove the filter from the air cleaner, push
down the lock pins
1
and pull the unit upward
2.
The filter element should not be cleaned and
reused. Replace it according to the maintenance
log shown in the separate Service and Mainte-
nance Guide. When replacing the filter, wipe the
inside of the air cleaner housing and the cover
with a damp cloth.
WARNING

Operating the engine with the aircleaner removed can cause you or
others to be burned. The air cleaner
not only cleans the air, it stops the
flame if the engine backfires. If it isn’t
there, and the engine backfires, you
could be burned. Do not drive with
the air cleaner removed, and be care-
ful when working on the engine with
the air cleaner removed.

Never pour fuel into the throttle body
or attempt to start the engine with
the air cleaner removed. Doing so
could result in serious injury.

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER
RECOMMENDATION
Selecting the correct oilIt is essential to choose the correct quality, and
viscosity oil to ensure satisfactory engine life and
performance. NISSAN recommends the use of a
low friction oil (energy conserving oil) in order to
improve fuel economy and conserve energy. Oils
which do not have the specified quality label
should not be used as they could cause engine
damage.
Only those engine oils with the American Petro-
leum Institute (API) certification mark on the frontof the container should be used. This type of oil
supersedes the existing API SG, SH, or SJ and
Energy ConservingI&IIcategories.
If you cannot find engine oil with the API certifi-
cation mark, use an API grade SG/SH, Energy
ConservingI&IIorAPIgrade SJ or SL, Energy
conserving oil. An oil with a single designation
SG or SH, or in combination with other catego-
ries (for example, SG/CC or SG/CD) may also
be used if one with the API certification mark
cannot be found. An ILSAC grade GF-I, GF-II or
GF-III oil can also be used.
NISSAN recommends mineral based oils. These
oils must however, meet the API quality and SAEviscosity ratings specified for your vehicle.
Oil additivesNISSAN does not recommend the use of oil
additives. The use of an oil additive is not
necessary when the proper oil type is used and
maintenance intervals are followed.
Oil which may contain foreign matter or has
been previously used should not be used.Oil viscosityThe engine oil viscosity or thickness changes
with temperature. Because of this, it is important
that the engine oil viscosity be selected based
on the temperatures at which the vehicle will be
operated before the next oil change. The recom-
mended SAE viscosity number chart shows the
recommended oil viscosities for the expected
ambient temperatures. Choosing an oil viscosity
other than that recommended could cause seri-
ous engine damage.Selecting the correct oil filterYour new vehicle is equipped with a high-quality
genuine NISSAN oil filter. When replacing, use
the genuine oil filter or its equivalent for the
reason described in change intervals.
