ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, park vehicle on a level surface and check the engine oil level. If engine is already
started, stop it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within
the range (A) as shown.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE
 Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.
 If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE
Check for engine oil leakage around the following areas:
 Oil pan (upper and lower)
 Oil pan drain plug
 Oil pressure switch
 Oil filter
 Intake valve timing control solenoid valve
 Front cover
 Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
 Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
 Crankshaft oil seals (front and rear)
 Oil filter (for intake valve timing control)
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
 Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
 For engine oil pressure check the transaxle should be in “Neutral position”, and apply the parking
brake securely.
1. Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure switch (1), and
remove oil pressure switch using a suitable tool.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001516582
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
 To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
 Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
 Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
Precaution for Liquid GasketINFOID:0000000001381534
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET
 After removing the mounting bolts and nuts, separate the mating
surface using a seal cutter and remove the liquid gasket.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
 In areas where the cutter is difficult to use, use a plastic hammer to
lightly tap (1) the tool into place and slide (2) side-to-side.
CAUTION:
If for some unavoidable reason a tool such as a flat-bladed
screwdriver is used, be careful not to damage the mating sur-
faces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using a scraper, remove the old liquid gasket adhering to the
gasket application surface and the mating surface.
 Remove the liquid gasket completely from the groove of the
gasket application surface, mounting bolts and bolt holes.
2. Wipe the gasket application surface and the mating surface with
white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove adhering
moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Attach the liquid gasket to the tube presser.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
