OIL PUMP
a. Insert oil pump drive spacer according to the directions of crank-
shaft key and the two flat surfaces of oil pump inner rotor.
If the positional relationship does not allow the insertion, rotateoil pump inner rotor with a finger to allow spacer.
b. After confirming that the position of each part is in correct condi- tion to allow for spacer, force fit spacer by lightly tapping with
plastic hammer until it contacts and does not go further.
3. Install in the reverse order of removal after this step.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check the engine oil level. refer to LU-23, "Inspection".
2. Start engine, and check there is no leak of engine oil.
3. Stop engine and wait for 15 minutes.
4. Check the engine oil level and adjust engine oil. Refer to LU-23, "
Inspection".
Disassembly and AssemblyINFOID:0000000001325836
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove oil pump cover.
2. Remove oil pump inner rotor and oil pump outer rotor from oil pump body.
3. After removing regulator valve plug, remove regulator valve spring and regulator valve.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Oil Pump Clearance
Measure the clearance with feeler gauge.
- Clearance between oil pump outer rotor and oil pump body (Posi-
tion 1)

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically (e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel).
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. —
Brakes Check that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied. —
Brake pedal and
booster Check 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-5
,
BR-14
Parking brake Check that the pedal has the proper travel and make sure that the vehicle is
held securely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is applied. PB-3
Automatic transmis-
sion "Park" mecha-
nismCheck that the lock release button on the selector lever operates properly and
smoothly. On a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the
selector lever in the P (Park) position without applying any brakes.
—
Item
Reference page
Item Reference page
Windshield washer
fluid Check that there is adequate fluid in the tank. —
Engine coolant level Check the coolant level when the engine is cold. MA-12
, MA-19
Radiator and hoses Check the front of the radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves, etc., that
may have accumulated. Make sure the hoses have no cracks, deformation, de-
terioration or loose connections. —
Brake fluid level Make sure that the brake fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the
reservoir. MA-32
Battery Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN”
lines. Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions re-
quire frequent checks of the battery fluid level. SC-4
Engine drive belts
Make sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily. MA-11, MA-19
Engine oil level Check the level on the oil level gauge after parking the vehicle on a level spot
and turning off the engine. MA-15,
MA-22
Power steering fluid
level and lines Check the level on the dipstick with the engine off. Check the lines for improper
attachment, leaks, cracks, etc.
MA-33
Exhaust system
Make sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the ex-
haust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate
the trouble and correct it. MA-26
Underbody
The underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these sub-
stances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around
the exhaust system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly
flushed with plain water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt
can easily accumulate. —
Fluid leaks Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle
has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is
normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for
the cause and correct it immediately. —

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
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

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.
Driving in dusty conditions.
Driving on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
(1) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts if found
damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading (only for VK45DE engine) reaches the maximum limit.
(2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.
(3) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, refer to FL section.
(4) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, replace every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
(5) If valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by INFINITI for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perfo rm
such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and inter vals are
required.

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.
