A widely use engine stand can be used.
CAUTION:
Use engine stand that has a load capacity [approximately
150 kg (331 lb) or more] large enough for supporting the
engine weight.
NOTE:
This example is an engine stand for holding at transaxle
mounting side with drive plate removed.
3. Drain engine oil. Refer to LU-9, "
Changing Engine Oil" .
4. Drain engine coolant by removing water drain plug from inside of
engine.
5. Remove cylinder head. Refer to EM-65, "
CYLINDER HEAD" .
6. Remove knock sensor.
CAUTION:
Carefully handle knock sensor avoiding shocks.
7. Remove crankshaft position sensor (POS).
CAUTION:

Avoid impacts such as a dropping.

Do not disassemble.

Keep it away from metal particles.

Do not place sensor in a location where it is exposed to
magnetism.
8. Remove drive plate.

Secure drive plate with stopper plate, and remove mounting
bolts.
NOTE:
Use TORX socket (size E20).
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage or scratch drive plate.

A widely use engine stand can be used.
CAUTION:
Use engine stand that has a load capacity [approximately
220 kg (441 lb) or more] large enough for supporting the
engine weight.
NOTE:
This example is engine stand for holding at transaxle mount-
ing side with drive plate removed.
5. Drain engine oil. Refer to LU-21, "
Changing Engine Oil" .
6. Drain engine coolant by removing water drain plugs from cylin-
der block both sides at “A” and “D” and cylinder block front side
at “B” as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
Water drain plug at the right bank side for VQ35DE is also used
as a connector of water pipe for oil cooler. Refer to LU-23, "
OIL
COOLER (VQ35DE)" .
7. Remove drive plate. Fix crankshaft pulley with pulley holder [SST: KV10109300], and remove mounting
bolts.

Loosen mounting bolts in diagonal order.
CAUTION:

Do not disassemble drive plate.

Do not place drive plate with signal plate facing down.

When handling signal plate, take care not to damage or
scratch it.

Handle signal plate in a manner that prevents it from
becoming magnetized.
8. Remove cylinder head. Refer to EM-210, "
CYLINDER HEAD" .
9. Remove knock sensor.
CAUTION:
Carefully handle sensor avoiding shocks.

WARNING:

Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.

Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct
skin contact with used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand
cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, put vehicle horizontally and check for engine oil leakage from engine components. Refer
to LU-7, "
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE" .
2. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
3. Loosen oil filler cap and then remove drain plug.
4. Drain engine oil.
5. Install drain plug with new washer. Refer to EM-26, "
OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER" .
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
6. Refill with new engine oil.
Engine oil specification and viscosity:
Refer to MA-14, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .
Engine oil capacity (Approximate):
Unit: (lmp qt)
CAUTION:

The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifica-
tions for reference only.

Always use oil level gauge to the determine when the proper amount of engine oil is in the
engine.
7. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for engine oil leakage.
8. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
9. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "
ENGINE OIL LEVEL" .

RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS

RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTSPFP:00000
Fluids and LubricantsBLS0009C
*1: For further details, see “SAE Viscosity Number”.
*2: Use Genuine NISSAN Anti-freeze Coolant or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion within the engine
cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant.
Note that any repairs for the incidents within the engine cooling system while using non-genuine engine coolant may not be
covered by the warranty even if such incidents occurred during the warranty period.
*3: Contact a Nissan dealership for more information regarding suitable fluids, including recommended brand(s) of DEXRON
TM III/MER-
CONTM Automatic Transmission Fluid.
*4: Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the war-
ranty.
*5: DEXRON
TM III type ATF can be used.
*6: Never mix different type of fluids (DOT 3 and DOT 4).Capacity (Approximate)
