refrigerant type NISSAN ROGUE SPORT 2018 Owners Manual

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 op-
eration. Refer to “General maintenance”
(P.9-2).
Items marked with “*” are recommended
by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation.
You are not required to perform main-
tenance on these items in order to
maintain the warranties which come with
your vehicle. Other maintenance items
and intervals are required.
When applicable, additional information
can be found in the “8. Do-it yourself”
section of this manual.
NOTE:
NISSAN does not advocate the use of
non-OEM approved aftermarket flush-
ing systems and strongly advises
against performing these services on a
NISSAN product. Many of the aftermar-
ket flushing systems use non-OEM ap-
proved chemicals or solvents, the use of
which has not been validated by
NISSAN.For recommended fuel, lubricants,
fluids, grease, and refrigerant, refer to
“Capacities and recommended fluids/
lubricants” (P.10-2) of this manual.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MAIN-
TENANCE
Drive belt*:
Check engine drive belt for wear, fraying
or cracking and for proper tension. Re-
place any damaged drive belt.
Engine air filter:
Replace at specified intervals. When driv-
ing for prolonged periods in dusty condi-
tions, check/replace the filter more
frequently.
Engine coolant*:
Replace coolant at the specified interval.
When adding or replacing coolant, be
sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Long
Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equiva-
lent with the proper mixture. (Refer to
“Engine cooling system” (P.8-4) to deter-
mine the proper mixture for your area.)
NOTE:
Mixing any other type of coolant or the
use of non-distilled water may reduce
the recommended service interval of
the coolant.
Engine oil and oil filter:
Replace engine oil and oil filter at the
specified intervals. For recommended oil
grade and viscosity refer to “Capacities
and recommended fluids/lubricants”
(P.10-2).
Engine valve clearance*:
Inspect only if valve noise increases.
Adjust valve clearance if necessary.
Evaporative emissions control vapor
lines*:
Check vapor lines for leaks or looseness.
Tighten connections or replace parts as
necessary.
Fuel filter
Periodic maintenance is not required (in-
tank type filter).
Fuel lines*:
Check the fuel hoses, piping and connec-
tions for leaks, looseness, or deterioration.
Tighten connections or replace parts as
necessary.

CAPACITIES AND RECOMMENDED
FLUIDS/LUBRICANTS

10-6Technical and consumer information
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
viscosity 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 an
engine oil and filter other than the
specified quality, or exceeding recom-
mended oil and filter change intervals
could reduce engine life. Damage to the
engine caused by improper maintenance
or use of incorrect oil and filter quality
and/or viscosity is not covered by the
NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
Your engine was filled with a high quality
engine oil when it was built. You do not
have to change the oil before the firstrecommended change interval.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM RE-
FRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT RE-
COMMENDATIONS
The air conditioning system in your
NISSAN vehicle must be charged with
the specified refrigerant and compres-
sor oil or equivalent. See the air condi-
tioner specification label. (See “Air
conditioner specification label” (P.10-
10).)
.
Type A
— HFC-134a (R-134a)
— A/C system oil ND-OIL8(PAG) or
equivalent
. Type B
— HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf)
— A/C system oil ND-OIL12(PAG) or
equivalent
CAUTION
The use of any other refrigerant or oil
may cause severe damage to the air
conditioning system and may re-
quire the replacement of all air con-
ditioner system components.
The refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) or HFO-
1234yf (R-1234yf) in your NISSAN vehicle will not harm the earth’s ozone layer.
Although this refrigerant does not affect
the earth’s atmosphere, certain govern-
mental regulations require the recovery
and recycling of any refrigerant during
automotive air conditioning system ser-
vice. A NISSAN dealer has the trained
technicians and equipment needed to
recover and recycle your air conditioning
system refrigerant.
It is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer when servicing your air condition-
ing system.
