oil capacities NISSAN MURANO 2005 1.G Owners Manual

CHANGING ENGINE OILChange the engine oil and filter according to the
maintenance log shown in the Service and Main-
tenance Guide.1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply
the parking brake.
2. Run the engine until it reaches operating
temperature.
3. Turn the engine off andwait more than 10
minutes.
4. Place a large drain pan under the drain plug
A
(under the body).
5. Remove the oil filler cap
B(inside the engine
compartment).
6. Remove the drain plug
Awith a wrench and
completely drain the oil.
If oil filter is to be changed, remove and
replace it at this time. See later in “Engine oil”
for changing engine oil filter.
CAUTION
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the
engine oil is hot.

Waste oil must be disposed of properly.

Check your local regulations.
7. Clean and re-install the drain plug with a newwasher. Securely tighten the drain plug with a
wrench.
Drain plug tightening torque:
22 to 29 ft-lb (29 to 39 N⋅m)
Do not use excessive force.
8. Refill engine with recommended oil and in-
stall the cap securely.
CAUTION
Never pull out the oil level gauge while
filling engine oil.
See “Capacities and recommended
fuel/lubricants” in the “9. Technical and con-
sumer information” section for drain and refill
capacity. The drain and refill capacity de-
pends on the oil temperature and drain time.
Use these specifications for reference only.
Always use the dipstick to determine the
proper amount of oil in the engine.
9. Start the engine.
Check for leakage around the drain plug.
Correct as required.
10. Turn the engine off andwait more than 10
minutes. Check the oil level with the dip-

FUEL RECOMMENDATION:Use unleaded regular gasoline with an oc-
tane rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock
Index) number (Research octane number
91).
For improved vehicle performance,
NISSAN recommends the use of unleaded
premium gasoline with an octane rating of
at least 91 AKI number (Research octane
number 96).
CAUTION
Using a fuel other than that specified
could adversely affect the emission con-
trol system, and may also affect the
warranty coverage.
Under no circumstances should a
leaded gasoline be used, since this will
damage the three-way catalyst.
For additional information, see “Capacities and
recommended fuel/lubricants” in the “9. Techni-
cal and consumer information” section.
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATION:
API Certification Mark

API grade SG/SH, Energy ConservingI&II
or API grade SJ or SL, Energy Conserving

ILSAC grade GF-I, GF-II & GF-III

SAE 5W-30 viscosity oil is preferred for all
ambient temperatures. SAE 10W-30,
10W-40 viscosity oil may be used for ambi-
ent temperatures above 0°F (−18°C).
See “Capacities and recommended fuel/
lubricants” in the “9. Technical and consumer
information” section for engine oil and oil filter
recommendation.COLD TIRE PRESSURES:See Tire and Loading Information label affixed to
the inside of the driver side center pillar.NEW VEHICLE BREAK-IN
PROCEDURES
RECOMMENDATION:During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of ve-
hicle use, follow the recommendations outlined
in the “Break-in schedule” Information found in
the “5. Starting and driving” section of this
Owner’s Manual.
