Periodic MaintenanceELS000AM
The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric con-
ditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent mainte-
nance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.
ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL MAINTENANCE (QR20DE PETROL ENGINE)
(Annual Mileage <30,000 Km/year)
Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace,.
NOTE:
lMaintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving
Conditions”.
l(1)Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
l(2) Replace the drive belts if found damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.
l(3) First replace at 90,000 Km (54,000 miles)/60 months, then every 60,000 km (36,000 miles)/48 months. Perform "I"
(Checking the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.
l(4) Fuel filter is maintenance-free. For service procedures, refer to FL section.
l(5) Perform only according to "Maintenance Under Severe Driving conditions" for models without Euro-OBD system. For
models with Euro-OBD system, periodic maintenance is not required.

Conditions”.
l(1) If valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
l(2) Never use CG-4 oil.
l(3) Oil filter element assembly and O-ring seal are replacement parts.
l(4) First replace at 100,000 Km (60,000 miles)/60 months, then every 60,000Km (36,000 miles)/36 months. After first
replacement, perform "I" (checking the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of
replacement interval.
l(5) If engine power decreases, black exhaust smoke is emitted or engine noise increases, perform this maintenance item.

*1: For further details, see “SAE Viscosity Number”.
*2: Never use API CG-4.
*3: Use Genuine Nissan Anti-freeze Coolant (L2N)] or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion within the
engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant.
Note that any repairs for the incidents within the engine cooling system while using non-genuine engine coolant may not be
covered by the warranty even if such incidents occurred during the warranty period.
*4: Contact a Nissan dealership for more information regarding suitable fluids, including recommended brand(s) of Dexron
TMIII/Mer-
conTMAutomatic Transmission Fluid.
*5: Never mix different types of fluids (DOT 3 and DOT 4).Capacity (Approximate)

Engine Coolant Mixture RatioELS000AN
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality,
year-round and extended life engine coolant. The high quality engine
coolant contains the specific solutions effective for the anti-corrosion
and the anti-freeze function. Therefore, additional cooling system
additives are not necessary.
CAUTION:
lWhen adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Gen-
uine NISSAN Anti-freeze Coolant (L2N) or equivalent.
Because L2N is premixed type coolant.
The use of other types of engine coolant may damage your
cooling system.
lWhen checking the engine coolant mixture ratio by the coolant
hydrometer, use the chart below to correct your hydrometer reading (specific gravity) according to coolant
temperature.
Mixed coolant specific gravity
Unit: specific gravity
WA RN ING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused by high pres-
sure fluid escaping from the radiator. Wait until the engine and radiator cool down.

2. Open drain plugs on cylinder block.
3. Remove reservoir tank and drain coolant.
4. Check drained coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion
or discoloration.
If contaminated, flush engine cooling system. Refer toMA-21,
"FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM".
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install reservoir tank, radiator drain plug and cylinder block drain plug.
Apply sealant to the thread of cylinder block drain plug.
lUse Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
2. Fill radiator and reservoir tank to specified level.
lUse genuine Nissan anti-freeze coolant or equivalent mixed
with water (distilled or demineralized).
Refer toMA-17, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS".
lPour coolant slowly of less than 2 (2-1/8US qt,1-3/4 lmp
qt) a minute to allow air in system to escape.
3. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature without radia-
tor cap installed.
lIf coolant overflows radiator filler hole, install filler cap.
4. Run engine at 3,000 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle speed
with radiator cap installed.
lRepeat two or three times.
Watch coolant temperature gauge so as not to overheat the engine.
5. Stop engine and cool down to less than approximately 50°C(122°F).
lCool down using a fan to reduce the time.
lIf necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with coolant.
6. Refill reservoir tank to MAX level line with coolant.
7. Repeat steps 5 through 7 two or more times with radiator cap installed until coolant level no longer drops.
8. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
9. Warm up engine, and check for sound of coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000 rpm with
heater temperature controller set at several position between COOL and WARM.
lSound may be noticeable at heater unit.
10. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating steps 5 through 7 until coolant level no
longer drops.
lClean excess coolant from engine.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water and reinstall radiator cap.
