Introduction of Periodic MaintenanceINFOID:0000000001328894
Two different maintenance schedules are provi ded, and should be used, depending upon the conditions in
which the vehicle is mainly operated. After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, continue the periodic
maintenance at the same mileage/time intervals.
Schedule 1INFOID:0000000001328895
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or r eplace if necessary. [ ]: At the mileage intervals only
Schedule 1Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 1 if the driving habits frequently include
one or more of the following driving conditions:
 Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
 Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temperatures
remaining below freezing.
 Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.
 Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police, taxi or door-to-door delivery use.

NOTE:
(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) fl uid (A/T, trans-
fer)/oil at every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months. Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine Nissan Matic J
ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmis-
sion, which is not covered by the INFINITI new vehicle limited warranty.
(2) Refer to “Tire rotation” under the “GENERAL MAINTENANCE” heading earlier in this section.

REAR PROPELLER SHAFT
 Inspect propeller shaft runout at measuring points. If runoutexceeds specifications, replace propeller shaft assembly. For mea-
suring point, refer to PR-4, "
On-Vehicle Inspection".
 As shown in the figure, while fixing yoke on one side, check axial play of joint. If outside the standard, replace relevant propeller
shaft.
 Check propeller shaft for bend and damage. If damage is detected, replace relevant propeller shaft.
CAUTION:
Never disassemble joints.
 Check center bearing for noise and damage. If noise or damage is
detected, replace center bearing. Refer to PR-11, "
Disassembly
and Assembly of Center Bearing".
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Avoid damaging the rebro joint boot, protect it with a shop towel or equivalent.
 Align matching marks to install propeller shaft to final drive and transfer (AWD models only) companion
flanges, and then tighten to specified torque. Refer to PR-8, "
Component".
 Install center bearing mounting bracket (Upper) with its arrow mark
facing forward.
 Adjust position of mounting bracket sliding back and forth to pre- vent play in thrust direction of center bearing insulator. Install
bracket to vehicle.
 After assembly, perform a driving test to check propeller shaft vibration. If vibration occurred, separate propeller shaft from final
drive. Reinstall companion flange after rotating it by 60, 120, 180,
240, 300 degrees. Then perform driving test and check propeller
shaft vibration again at each point.
 If propeller shaft or final drive has been replaced, connect them as follows: Propeller shaft runout limit : 0.8 mm (0.031 in)

- Before disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the unit.
- Disassembly should be done in a clean work area. It is im portant to prevent the internal parts from becoming
contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
- For easier and proper assembly, place disassembled parts in order on a parts rack.
- Use nylon cloth or paper towels to clean the parts; common shop rags can leave lint that might interfere with
their operation.
- Do not reuse non-reusable parts.
- Before assembling, apply the specified grease to the directed parts.
