Disassembly and AssemblyINFOID:0000000005149032
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove oil pump cover.
2. Remove inner rotor and outer rotor from oil pump body.
3. Remove the regulator plug, regulator spring and regulator valve.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Clearance of Oil Pump Parts
• Measure radial clearance using a suitable tool.
• Measure side clearance using suitable tools.
• Calculate the clearance between inner rotor and oil pump body asfollows.
1. Measure the outer diameter of protruded portion of inner rotor
(position 5) using suitable tool. Body to outer rotor (position 1)
: 0.114 - 0.200 mm (0.0045 - 0.0079 in)
Inner rotor to outer rotor tip (position 2)
: Below 0.180 mm (0.0071 in)
PBIC0139E
Body to inner rotor (position 3)
: 0.030 - 0.070 mm (0.0012 - 0.0028 in)
Body to outer rotor (position 4)
: 0.030 - 0.090 mm (0.0012 - 0.0035 in)

2. Measure the inner diameter of oil pump body to brazed portion
(position 6) using suitable tool.
3. Calculate the clearance using the following formula. • (Clearance) = (Inner diameter of oil pump body) - (Outer diameter of inner rotor)
Regulator Valve Clearance
Check regulator valve to oil pump cover clearance using the following formula.
• (Clearance) = D
1 (Valve hole diameter) - D2 (Outer Diameter of
valve)
CAUTION:
• Coat regulator valve with engine oil.
• Check that it falls smoothly into the regulator valve hole by its
own weight.
ASSEMBLY
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
Install the inner rotor and outer rotor with the punched marks on the
oil pump cover side.

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).
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-39, "SEAT BELT,
BUCKLES, RETRAC-
TORS, ANCHORS AND
ADJUSTERS : Checking
Seat Belts, Buckles, Re-
tractors, Anchors and
Adjusters"
Accelerator pedal
Check 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. ACC-6, "Accelerator
Control"
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-15, "
Inspection and
Adjustment", BR-10, "In-
spection"
Parking brake
Check that the lever or 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 ap-
plied. PB-5, "On-Vehicle Ser-
vice"
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 se-
lector lever in the P position without applying the brakes.

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 require fre-
quent checks of the battery fluid level. —
Engine drive belt Make sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily. MA-15, "

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, "EXHAUST SYS-

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
UnderbodyThe 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:0000000005145934
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 or ti me intervals, whichever comes first.
Maintenance for Off-road Driving (4WD only)INFOID:0000000005145935
Whenever you drive off-road through sand, mud, or wa ter; more frequent maintenance may be required for the
following items:
Brake pads and rotors
Brake lines and hoses
Rear final drive oil, transmission fluid, and transfer fluid
Steering linkage
Drive shafts
Engine air cleaner filter
In-cabin microfilters

Schedule 1Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 1 if the driving habits frequently includes
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 re-
maining 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.
• Towing a trailer or using a car-top carrier. Emission Control Sys-

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
(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 reaches the maximum limit.
(2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.
(3) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, go to the 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) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform
such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are
required.
