ENGINE OIL
4. Install oil pressure gauge and hose.
5. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
6. Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load. Refer to LU-11, "
Engine Oil Pressure".
If difference is extreme, check oil passage and oil pump for oil leaks.
NOTE:
When engine oil temperature is low, engine oil pressure becomes high.
7. After the inspections, install oil pressure switch as follows:
a. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to oil pressure switch and engine.
b. Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure switch to specification. Use Genuine Silicone RTV Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-42, "
Recommended Chemical Product
and Sealant".
c. Check engine oil level.
d. After warming up engine, make sure there are no leaks of engine oil with running engine.
8. Install engine under cover. Refer to EI-15, "
Removal and Installation".
DrainingINFOID:0000000005928688
WARNING:
• Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
• Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause ski n cancer. Try to avoid direct skin
contact with used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as
soon as possible.
1. Warm up the engine, park vehicle on a level surface and check for engine oil leakage from engine compo- nents. Refer to LU-7, "
Inspection".
2. Stop the engine and wait for 10 minutes.
3. Loosen oil filler cap.
4. Remove drain plug and then drain engine oil.
RefillingINFOID:0000000005928689
1. Install drain plug with new washer. Refer to EM-39, "Exploded View".
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
2. Refill with new engine oil. Engine oil specification and viscosity: Refer to MA-14, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
CAUTION:
• The refill capacity depends on the engine oi l temperature and drain time. Use these specifica-
tions for reference only.
• Always use oil level gauge to determine the pr oper amount of engine oil in the engine.
3. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for engine oil leakage.
4. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
5. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "
Inspection".

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Introduction of Periodic MaintenanceINFOID:0000000005931131
Two different maintenance schedules are provi ded, and should be used, depending upon the conditions in
which the vehicle is mainly operated. After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, continue the periodic
maintenance at the same mileage/time intervals.
Schedule 1INFOID:0000000005931132
Emission Control System Maintenance
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or r eplace if necessary. [ ]: At the mileage intervals only
Schedule 1Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 1 if your driving habits frequently includes
one or more of the following driving conditions:
• Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
• Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temperatures re-
maining below freezing.
• Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.
• Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police, taxi
or door-to-door delivery use.
• Driving in dusty conditions.
• Driving on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads.
• Towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier. Emission Control Sys-

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or replace if necessary. [ ]: At the mileage intervals only
(1) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts i f found
damaged.
(2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.
(3) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, refer to the FL section.
(4) First replacement interval is 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or 84 months. After first replacement, replace every 75,000 miles (120,000
km) or 60 months. Use only Genuine NISSAN long life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent with proper mixture ratio of 50% an ti-
freeze and 50% demineralized or distilled water. Mixing any other type of coolant or the use of non-distilled water will reduce the life
expectancy of the factory fill coolant.
(5) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform
such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and inter vals are
required.

(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil/f luid at every
30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
(2) If towing a trailer, using a camper or car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration with CON-
SULT-III every 60,000 miles (96,000 km), then change CVT fluid NS -2 if necessary. (Refer to CVT section) If CONSULT-III is not avail-
able, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid NS-2 every 60,000 miles (96,000 km). Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN
CVT Fluid NS-2 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
(3) Refer to “Tire rotation” under the “GENERAL MAINTENANCE” heading earlier in this section.

*1: For further details, see “Engine Oil Recommendation”.
*2: If Genuine NISSAN gear oil is not available, API GL-4, Viscosity SAE 75W-85 may also be used as a temporary replacement. How-
ever, use Genuine NISSAN gear oil as soon as it is available.
*3: If Genuine NISSAN ge ar oil is not available, API GL-4, Viscosity SAE 75W-80 may be used as a temporary replacement. However
use Genuine NISSAN gear oil as soon as it is available.
*4: If Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF is not available, Genuine NISSIAN Matic D ATF may also be used. Using automatic transmission
other than Genuine NISSAN Matic S or Genuine NISSIAN Matic D ATF will cause deteri oration in driveability and automatic transmis-
sion durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by th e NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
*5: Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2. Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will dam-
age the CVT, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
