FUEL INFORMATION
VR38 engine
Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane
rating of at least �f3 AK�b (Anti-Knock �bndex)
number (Research octane number �f8) to max-
imize vehicle performance.
�bf the premium gasoline specified above is not
available, you may use unleaded premium gaso-
line with an octane rating of at least �f1 AK�b
number (Research octane number �f6) , but you
may notice a decrease in performance.
Do not use gasoline with a lower octane rating
than �f1 AK�b (Research octane number �f6) .
NOTICE
.Using a fuel other than that speci-
fied could adversely affect the emis-
sion control systems, and may also
affect warranty coverage.
. Under no circumstances should a
leaded gasoline be used, since this
will damage the three way catalyst.
. Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your
vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed
to run on E-15 or E-85 fuel. Using E-
15 or E-85 fuel in a vehicle not specifically designed for E-15 or E-
85 fuel can adversely affect the
emission control devices and sys-
tems of the vehicle. Damage caused
by such fuel is not covered by the
NISSAN new vehicle limited war-
ranty.
. U.S. government regulations require
ethanol dispensing pumps to be
identified by a small, square, orange
and black label with the common
abbreviation or the appropriate per-
centage for that region.
. NISSAN recommends using fuels
that contain no alcohol. However,
fuels containing up to 10% alcohol
may be used, if necessary. To avoid
serious engine damage due to in-
creased cylinder temperature, do
not use fuels that contain more
alcohol than indicated in
“Gasoline containing oxyge-
nates” page 9-4. Also, do not use
fuel additives, fuel stabilizers or fuel
deicers that contain alcohol.
For additional information, see the following
section. (
“Capacities and recommended fluids/lubricants” page �f-2)
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATION
Mobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic) is the factory
fill oil. The VR38 engine with its plasma-sprayed
bores was developed using this oil. N�bSSAN
cannot ensure proper engine operation and
durability if other 0W-40 synthetic oil is used.
�bf Mobil 1 (0W-40) is not available, Mobil 1
(10W-40) (100% synthetic) may be used;
however, some performance loss may be
noticed.
See the following section for engine oil and oil
filter recommendation. (
“Capacities and
recommended fluids/lubricants” page �f-2)
COLD TIRE PRESSURES
The label is typically located on the driver side
center pillar or on the driver’s door.
