ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, put vehicle horizontally and check the engine oil level. If engine is already started, stop
it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within
the range shown in the figure.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE
Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.
If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE
Check for engine oil leakage around the following area.
Oil pan
Oil pan drain plug
Oil pressure switch
Oil filter
Intake valve timing control cover and intake valve timing control solenoid valve
Front cover
Mating surface between cylinder block and lower cylinder block
Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
Crankshaft oil seals (front and rear)
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
Engine oil pressure check should be in “ Parking position”.
1. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "
ENGINE OIL LEVEL" .
2. Remove splash guard (RH).
3. Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure switch, and
remove oil pressure switch using deep socket (commercial ser-
vice tool).

OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
Oil pressure check should be done in “Parking position”.
1. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-19, "
ENGINE OIL LEVEL" .
2. Remove splash guard (RH).
3. Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure switch, and
remove oil pressure switch using deep socket (commercial ser-
vice tool).
NOTE:
Figure is shown as an example of VQ35DE.
4. Install oil pressure gauge and hose (SST).
5. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
6. Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
NOTE:
When engine oil temperature is low, engine oil pressure becomes high.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MAINTENANCEPFP:00000
General MaintenanceBLS0005E
General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform the
checks and inspections themselves or they can have their NISSAN dealers do them for a nominal charge.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the
vehicle, etc.Item Reference page
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge periodically when at a service station, includ-
ing the spare, and adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully
for damage, cuts or excessive wear.—
WindshieldClean the windshield on a regular basis.
Check the windshield at least every six months for cracks or other damage.
Repair as necessary.—
Windshield wiper
bladesCheck for cracks or wear if not functioning correctly. —
Doors and engine
hoodCheck that all doors, the engine hood, the trunk lid and back door operate prop-
erly. Also ensure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary. Make sure
that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the primary latch is
released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check for
lubrication frequently.BL-13
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles).MA-40
LampsMake sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and
other lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check head-
lamp aim.—
Item Reference page
Warning lamps and
chimesMake sure that all warning lamps and buzzers/chimes are operating properly. —
Windshield wiper and
washerCheck that the wipers and washer operate properly and that the wipers do not
streak.—
Windshield defrosterCheck that air comes out of the defroster outlets properly and in sufficient quan-
tity when operating the heater or air conditioner.—
Steering wheelCheck that it has the specified play.
Check for changes in the steering conditions, such as excessive free play, hard
steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in)—
Seat beltsCheck that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly, and are installed securely. Check the
belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.MA-44
Accelerator pedalCheck the pedal for smooth operation and make sure the pedal does not catch
or require uneven effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal.—
Brake pedal and
boosterCheck the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper distance
under it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Be sure to
keep the floor mats away from the pedal.BR-6
, BR-21
Parking brakeCheck that the pedal has the proper travel.PB-2

SAE Viscosity NumberBLS0009D
GASOLINE ENGINE
5W-30 is preferable.
If 5W-30 is not available, select the viscosity, from the chart, that
is suitable for the outside temperature range.
CAUTION:
5W-20 should only be used for QR engine models.
5W-20 is not suitable for sustained high speed driving.
Anti-Freeze Coolant Mixture RatioBLS0009E
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality,
year-round anti-freeze coolant solution. The anti-freeze coolant solu-
tion contains the specific solutions effective for the anti-corrosion
and the anti-freeze function. Therefore, additional cooling system
additives are not necessary.
CAUTION:
When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Gen-
uine NISSAN Anti-freeze Coolant or equivalent in its quality
with the proper mixture ratio. See the examples shown
right.
The use of other types of engine coolant may damage your
cooling system.
When checking the engine coolant mixture ratio by the coolant hydrometer, use the chart below to correct
your hydrometer reading (specific gravity) according to coolant temperature.
Mixed coolant specific gravity
Unit: specific gravity
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused by high pres-
sure fluid escaping from the radiator. Wait until the engine and radiator cool down.
