The following are approximate capacities. The actual refill capacities may be slightly different. When refilling, follow the procedure
described in the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section to determine the proper refill capacity.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Diesel engine
Commercially available diesel fuel is adjusted
seasonally for cold temperatures. NISSAN rec-
ommends the use of diesel fuel that has been
seasonally adjusted for temperatures below 32°F
(0°C)
Diesel fuel of above 42 cetane minimum above
32°F (0°C); 45 cetane minimum below 32°F
(0°C) and with less than 15 ppm of sulfur must be
used.
A cetane number below 42 can cause poor start-
ing, excessive white smoke, and poor idling. A
cetane number above 55 can increase smoke at
peak torque conditions.
If two types of diesel fuel are available, use sum-
mer or winter fuel properly according to the fol-
lowing temperature conditions.● Above 32°F (0°C)...Summer type diesel
fuel.
● Below 32°F (0°C)...Winter type diesel fuel.
If you are in any doubt, it is recommended that
you consult a NISSAN dealer.
CAUTION
● Do not use home heating oil, petroleum,
biodiesel (more than 10%) or other al-
ternate fuels in your diesel engine. The
use of those can cause engine damage.
● Do not use summer fuel at tempera-
tures below 20°F (- 7°C) . The cold tem-
peratures will cause wax to form in the
fuel. As a result, it may prevent the en-
gine from running smoothly.
B10 fuel
B10 fuel is a mixture of approximately 10% bio-
diesel and 90% petroleum diesel. Your vehicle
was designed to run on blends of biodiesel up to
B10 (B1-B10) . Operating your vehicle on higher
blends is not recommended. Your vehicle’s en-
gine, exhaust catalyst filter and particulate filter,
and fuel system components may be damaged if
any of these blends are used.
U.S. government regulations require that bio-
diesel blends between B6 and B10 are identified
at fuel dispensing pumps by a label with the
common abbreviation or the appropriate per-
centage for that region. B6 --B10 blends must
meet prescribed quality standards specified by
ASTM D7467.
B10 fuel storage
Biodiesel degrades more quickly than pure
petroleum-based diesel. When storing a vehicle
that runs on a biodiesel blend, it is important to
keep the following in mind:
● If storing a vehicle for longer than one month,
empty the fuel tank of biodiesel.
● To prepare a vehicle to run after prolonged
storage, fill the fuel tank with a pure
petroleum-based diesel fuel and run your
vehicle for at least half an hour.
● Fuel system seals, plastics and steel parts
can be damaged by degraded or oxidized
biodiesel.
During cold weather, biodiesel fuel may need to
be stored in a heated storage tank in order to
prevent it from gelling or solidifying.
Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF)
Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is a solution composed
of urea and de-ionized water. In diesel vehicles, it
is used as part of the exhaust system to break
down harmful NOx emissions into nitrogen and
water. It is important to keep your vehicle’s DEF
tank filled properly.

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER
RECOMMENDATIONS
Selecting the correct oil
NOTE:
The factory fill oil may include a red dye
that that is added for manufacturing quality
processes. The dye makes the oil appear to
be red. This is normal. The red dye will be
flushed from the engine after approxi-
mately 4-5 oil changes.
It is essential to choose the correct grade, quality
and viscosity engine oil to ensure satisfactoryengine life and performance. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Recommended fluids/lubricants
and capacities” in this section. NISSAN recom-
mends the use of an energy conserving oil in
order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the Cummins®
Engineering Standard (CES) classification (CES
20081) and American Petroleum Institute (API)
certification (API CJ-4, Low Ash Oil) and SAE
viscosity standard (10W-30 or 5W-40) . These
oils have the API certification mark and CES
20081 on the container. Oils which do not have
the specified information on the label should not
be used as they could cause engine damage.
Oil additives
NISSAN does not recommend the use of oil
additives. The use of an oil additive is not neces-
sary when the proper oil type is used and main-
tenance intervals are followed.
Oil which may contain foreign matter or has been
previously used should not be used.
