NISSAN recommends using Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF ONLY in NISSAN
automatic transmissions. Do not mix with other fluids. Using fluids that
are not equivalent to Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF may damage the
automatic transmission. Damage caused by the use of fluids other than
as recommended is not covered under the NISSAN’s New Vehicle Limited
warranty.

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER RE-
COMMENDATION
Selecting the correct oil
It is essential to choose the correct grade,
quality, and viscosity engine oil to ensure
satisfactory engine life and performance,
see “Capacities and recommended fluids/
lubricants” (P.10-2). NISSAN recommends
the use of an energy conserving oil in
order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the
American Petroleum Institute (API) certifi-
cation or International Lubricant Standar-dization and Approval Committee (ILSAC)
certification and SAE viscosity standard.
These oils have the API certification mark
on the front of the container. Oils which
do not have the specified quality label
should not be used as they could cause
engine damage.
Oil additives
NISSAN does not recommend the use of
oil additives. The use of an oil additive is
not necessary when the proper oil type is
used and maintenance intervals are fol-
lowed.
Oil which may contain foreign matter or
has been previously used should not be
used.
Oil viscosity
The engine oil viscosity or thickness
changes with temperature. Because of
this, it is important that the engine oil
viscosity be selected based on the tem-
peratures at which the vehicle will be
operated before the next oil change.
Choosing an oil viscosity other than that
recommended could cause serious en-
gine damage.
Selecting the correct oil filter
Your new vehicle is equipped with a high-
quality genuine NISSAN oil filter. When
replacing, use the genuine oil filter or its
equivalent for the reason described in
change intervals.
Change intervals
The oil and oil filter change intervals for
your engine are based on the use of the
specified quality oils and filters. Oil and
filter other than the specified quality, or
oil and filter change intervals longer than
recommended could reduce engine life.
Damage to engines caused by improper
maintenance or use of incorrect oil and
filter quality and/or viscosity is not cov-
ered by the new NISSAN vehicle limited
warranties.
Your engine was filled with a high quality
engine oil when it was built. You do not

FUEL INFORMATION:
VQ37VHR engine
Use unleaded premium gasoline with an
octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-
Knock Index) number (Research octane
number 96).
If unleaded premium gasoline is not
available, unleaded regular gasoline with
an octane rating of at least 87 AKI
number (Research octane number 91)
may be temporarily used, but only under
the following precautions:
.Have the fuel tank filled only partially
with unleaded regular gasoline, and fill
up with unleaded premium gasoline
as soon as possible.
. Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt
acceleration.
Use unleaded premium gasoline for
maximum vehicle performance.
CAUTION
. Using a fuel other than that spe-
cified could adversely affect the
emission control systems, and
may also affect warranty cover-
age. .
Under no circumstances should a
leaded gasoline be used, since
this will damage the three way
catalyst.
. Do not use a fuel containing more
than 15% ethanol in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is not designed to
run on a fuel containing more
than 15% ethanol. Using a fuel
containing more than 15% etha-
nol in a vehicle not specifically
designed for a fuel containing
more than 15% ethanol can ad-
versely affect the emission con-
trol devices and systems of the
vehicle. Damage caused by such
fuel is not covered by the NISSAN
new vehicle limited warranty.
. U.S. government regulations re-
quire ethanol dispensing pumps
to be identified by a small,
square, orange and black label
with the common abbreviation or
the appropriate percentage for
that region.
For additional information, see “Capaci-
ties and recommended fluids/lubricants”
(P.10-2).
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATION:
See “Capacities and recommended fluids/
lubricants” (P.10-2) for engine oil and oil
filter recommendation.
COLD TIRE PRESSURES:
The label is typically located on the driver
side center pillar or on the driver’s door.
For additional information, see “Wheels
and tires” (P.8-26).
NEW VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCE-
DURES RECOMMENDATION:
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of
vehicle use, follow the recommendations
outlined in the “Break-in schedule” (P.5-
24) of this Owner’s Manual. Follow these
recommendations for the future reliability
and economy of your new vehicle.
