RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTSPFP:00000
Fluids and LubricantsELS00103
*1: For further details, MA-11, "SAE Viscosity Number" .
*2: 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 transmission, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
*3: For Canada, NISSAN Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF), DEXRON
TM III or MERCONTM or equivalent ATF may also be used.
*4: Available in mainland U.S.A. through your NISSAN dealer.
*5: For further details, see “Air conditioner specification label”.
*6: For hot climates, viscosity SAE 90 is suitable for ambient temperatures above 0° C (32° F).
*7: DEXRON

"Schedule 1" .
NOTE:
Rear final drive shown, front final drive similar.
1. Remove the filler plug.
2. Remove the drain plug and drain the final drive oil.
3. Apply sealant to the drain plug threads.

Use High Performance Thread Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-45, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants" .
4. Install the drain plug and tighten to specification.

Balancing WheelsELS0010O
REMOVAL
1. Using a releasing agent, remove the double-faced adhesive taped wheel weight(s) from the wheel.
CAUTION:

Be careful not to scratch the wheel during removal.

After removing double-faced adhesive taped wheel weights, wipe clean any traces of the releas-
ing agent from the wheel.
WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE:
If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting, select
and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for wheels.
1. Set the wheel on wheel balancer using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.
2. When the inner and outer imbalance values are shown on the wheel balancer indicator, multiply the outer
imbalance value by 1.6 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight
with a value closest to the calculated value and install it to the designated outer position of, or at the des-
ignated angle in relation to the road wheel.
CAUTION:

Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.

Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the mating surface of the wheel.Oil capacity and grade : Refer to RFD-11, "
