fuel fumes are evident, check for the cause
and have it corrected immediately.
Power steering fluid level* and lines:
Check the level when the fluid is cold, with
the engine off. Check the lines for proper
attachment, leaks, cracks, etc.
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, defor-
mation, rot or loose connections.
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 may 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 may accu-
mulate. For additional information, refer to
the “Appearance and care” section of this
manual.
Windshield-washer fluid*: Check that
there is adequate fluid in the reservoir. The following descriptions are provided to
give you a better understanding of the
scheduled maintenance items that should
be regularly checked or replaced. The
maintenance schedule indicates at which
mileage/time intervals each item requires
service.
In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your vehicle requires that some items be
checked during normal day-to-day opera-
tion. For additional information, refer to
“General maintenance” in this section.
Items marked with
“*”are recommended
by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation.
You are not required to perform mainte-
nance on these items in order to maintain
the warranties which come with your
NISSAN. Other maintenance items and in-
tervals are required.
When applicable, additional information
can be found in the “Do-it-yourself ” section
of this manual. NOTE:
NISSAN does not advocate the use of
non-OEM approved af termarket flush-
ing systems and strongly advises

FUEL RECOMMENDATION (for
QR25DE models)
Use unleaded regular gasoline with an oc-
tane rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock
Index) number (Research octane number
91).
CAUTION
∙ Only vehicles with the E-85 filler door
label can operate on E-85. Fuel system
or other damage can occur if E-85 is
used in vehicles that are not designed
to run on E-85. ∙ Using a fuel other than that specified
could adversely affect the emission
control system, and may also affect
the warranty coverage.
∙ Under no circumstances should a leaded gasoline be used, because this
will damage the three-way catalyst.
10-4Technical and consumer information

WARNING
∙ Ethanol vapors are extremely flam-mable and could cause serious per-
sonal injury.
∙ Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when removing
the fuel filler cap or filling the tank.
∙ Do not use E-85 as a cleaning agent and never use it near an open flame.
Fuel requirements
Your vehicle will operate on both unleaded
regular gasoline with an octane rating of at
least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Re-
search octane number 91), or E-85 fuel, or
any mixture of these two.
For the best starting and vehicle driveabil-
ity results, do not continually switch be-
tween E-85 and unleaded regular gasoline.
If you must switch fuels, NISSAN recom-
mends the following: ∙ do not switch when the fuel gauge indi- cates less than 1/4 full
∙ add more than 5 gallons of fuel
∙ operate the vehicle immediately af ter refueling for a period of at least 5 min-
utes NOTE:
When the ambient temperature is above
90°F (32°C), you may experience hard
starting and rough idle following start
up even if the above recommendations
are followed.
Starting
The characteristics of E-85 fuel make it un-
suitable for use when ambient tempera-
tures fall below 0°F (-18°C). In the range of
0°F (-18°C) to 32°F (0°C), you may experience
an increase in the time it takes for you en-
gine to start, and a deterioration in drivabil-
ity (sags and/or hesitations) until the en-
gine is fully warmed up.
Fuel consumption
Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per
gallon than gasoline, you will experience an
increase in fuel consumption. You can ex-
pect your fuel mileage to decrease by
about 30% compared to gasoline opera-
tion.
Replacement parts
Many components in your Flexible Fuel Ve-
hicle (FFV) are designed to be compatible
with ethanol. Always be sure that your ve-
hicle is serviced with correct ethanol com-
patible parts.
CAUTION
Replacing fuel system components
with non-ethanol compatible compo-
nents can damage your vehicle and
may also affect the warranty coverage.
Maintenance
If you operate your vehicle using E-85 fuel,
follow the correct maintenance log shown
in the “Maintenance and schedules” sec-
tion of this manual.
CAUTION
Do not use ethanol mixture greater
than 85% in your vehicle. It will cause
difficulty in cold starting and may affect
driveability.
10-10Technical and consumer information

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER
RECOMMENDATIONS
Selecting the correct oil
It is essential to choose the correct grade,
quality and viscosity engine oil to ensure
satisfactory engine life and performance.
For additional information, refer to “Recom-
mended fluids/lubricants and capacities”
in this section. NISSAN recommends the
use of an energy conserving oil in order to
improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the Ameri-
can Petroleum Institute (API) certification orInternational Lubricant Standardization 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 speci-
fied 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 followed.
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 to select the engine oil
viscosity based on the temperatures at
which the vehicle will be operated before
the next oil change. Choosing an oil viscos-
ity other than that recommended could
cause serious engine damage.
Selecting the correct oil filter
Your new NISSAN vehicle is equipped with a
high-quality Genuine NISSAN oil filter. When
replacing, use a Genuine NISSAN 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. Using en-
gine oil and filters that are not of the speci-
fied quality, or exceeding recommended oil
and filter change intervals could reduce
engine life. Damage to the engine caused
by improper maintenance or use of incor-
rect oil and filter quality and/or viscosity is
not covered by the NISSAN New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
