Engine Oil RecommendationINFOID:0000000006287732
NISSAN recommends the use of an energy conservi ng oil in order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API) certification and International Lubri-
cant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) ce rtification and SAE viscosity standard. These oils
have the API certification mark on t he front of the container. Oils which do not have the specified quality label
should not be used as they could cause engine damage.

Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
2. Refill with new engine oil. Engine oil specificat ion and viscosity:
Refer to MA-10, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
CAUTION:
 The refill capacity depends on the engine oi l temperature and drain time. Use these specifica-
tions for reference only.
 Always use oil level gauge to determine the proper amount of engine oil in engine.
