PERIODIC MAINTENANCEPFP:00026
Introduction of Periodic MaintenanceELS001YD
Two different maintenance schedules are provided, 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 1ELS001YE
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or replace 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
remaining 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-

(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil (exc. LSD) at
every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months, and change LSD gear oil every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months.
(2) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration with CON-
SULT-II every 60,000 miles (96,000 km), then change CVT fluid NS-2 if necessary. If CONSULT-II is not available, 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.

6. Wipe fluid off the CVT fluid level gauge. Then rotate the CVT
fluid level gauge 180° and re-insert it into the CVT charging pipe
as far as it will go.
CAUTION:
Always use lint free paper towels to wipe fluid off the CVT
fluid level gauge.
7. Remove the CVT fluid level gauge and check that the fluid level
is within the specified range as shown. If the fluid level is at or
below the low side of the range, add the necessary specified
NISSAN CVT fluid through the CVT charging pipe.
CAUTION:

Only use specified NISSAN CVT fluid.

Do not overfill the CVT.
8. Install the CVT fluid level gauge to the CVT fluid charging pipe until it locks.
CAUTION:
When CVT fluid level gauge is installed into the CVT fluid charging pipe, make sure that the CVT
fluid level gauge is securely locked in place.
