A/T FLUID
5. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
6. Check A/T fluid level and condition. Refer to AT-17, "
Checking A/T Fluid".
A/T Fluid Cooler CleaningINFOID:0000000005928072
Whenever the A/T is repaired, overhauled, or replaced, the A/T fluid cooler mounted in the radiator must be
inspected and cleaned.
Metal debris and friction material, if present, can becom e trapped in the A/T fluid cooler. This debris can con-
taminate the newly serviced A/T or, in severe cases, can bloc k or restrict the flow of A/T fluid. In either case,
malfunction of the newly serviced A/T may result.
Debris, if present, may build up as A/T fluid enters the c ooler inlet. It will be necessary to back flush the cooler
through the cooler outlet in order to flush out any built up debris.
A/T FLUID COOLER CLEANING PROCEDURE
1. Identify the A/T inlet and outlet fluid cooler hoses.
2. Position an oil pan under the A/T inlet and outlet fluid cooler hoses.
3. Disconnect the A/T fluid cooler inlet and outlet rubber hoses from the steel cooler tubes or bypass valve.
NOTE:
Replace the cooler hoses if rubber material from the hose
remains on the tube fitting.
4. Allow any A/T fluid that remains in the cooler hoses to drain into the oil pan.
5. Insert the extension adapter hose of a can of Transmission
Cooler Cleaner (Nissan P/N 999MP-AM006) into the cooler out-
let hose.
CAUTION:
• Wear safety glasses and rubber gloves when spraying the Transmission Cooler Cleaner.
• Spray Transmission Cooler Cleaner only with adequate
ventilation.
• Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
• Do not breathe vapors or spray mist.
6. Hold the hose and can as high as possible and spray Transmis- sion Cooler Cleaner in a continuous stream into the cooler outlet
hose until A/T fluid flows out of t he cooler inlet hose for 5 seconds.
7. Insert the tip of an air gun into the end of the cooler outlet hose.
8. Wrap a shop rag around the air gun tip and end of cooler outlet hose.
9. Blow compressed air regulated to 5 - 9 kg/cm
2 (490 - 883 kPa, 71 - 128 psi) through the cooler outlet hose
for 10 seconds to force out any remaining A/T fluid.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 three additional times.
11. Position an oil pan under the banjo bolts that connec t the A/T fluid cooler steel lines to the A/T.
12. Remove the banjo bolts. Fluid grade and capacity: Refer to
MA-14

1. Warm up CVT fluid by driving the vehicle for 10 minutes.
• : Vehicle front
• Radiator (2)
• CVT fluid cooler hose [inlet side (3)]
• Transaxle assembly (4)
2. Drain CVT fluid from CVT fluid cooler hose [outlet side (1)] and refill with new specified NISSAN CVT fluid in the CVT fluid
charging pipe with the engine running at idle speed.
CAUTION:
Only use the specifi ed NISSAN CVT fluid.
3. Refill until new CVT fluid comes out from CVT fluid cooler hose [outlet side (1)]. NOTE:
About 30 to 50% extra fluid will be required for this procedure.
4. Check fluid level and condition. Refer to CVT-14, "
Checking CVT Fluid".
CAUTION:
Delete CVT fluid deterioration date with CONSULT-III after changing CVT fluid. Refer to CVT-48,
"CONSULT-III Function (TRANSMISSION)".
CVT Fluid Cooler CleaningINFOID:0000000005928732
Whenever a CVT is repaired, overhauled, or replaced, the CVT fluid cooler mounted in the radiator must be
inspected and cleaned.
Metal debris and friction material, if present, can be trapped or become deposit in the CVT fluid cooler. This
debris can contaminate the newly serviced CVT or, in severe cases, can block or restrict the flow of CVT fluid.
In either case, malfunction of the newly serviced CVT may occur.
Debris, if present, may deposit as CVT fluid enters the cool er inlet. It will be necessary to back flush the cooler
through the cooler outlet in order to flush out any built up debris.
CVT FLUID COOLER CLEANING PROCEDURE
1. Identify the CVT inlet and outlet fluid cooler hoses.
2. Position an oil pan under the inlet and outlet cooler hoses.

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, "
