PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
lMaintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving
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), then every 60,000Km (36,000 miles). 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.

Fluids and LubricantsELS000C8
*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

CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
lTo check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with
atester.
WA RN ING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high pressure coolant escaping from
the radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
Checking Fuel LinesELS000AQ
Inspect fuel lines, filler cap and tank for improper attachment, leaks,
cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration. If nec-
essary, repair or replace faulty parts.
CAUTION:
Tighten high-pressure rubber hose clamp so that clamp end is 3 mm (0.12 in) from hose end.
Tightening torque specifications are the same for all rubber hose clamps.
Ensure that screw does not contact adjacent parts.

lBe careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
lProlonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may
cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact with
used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap
or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine compo-
nents.
2. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
3. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap.
4. Drain oil.
5. Install drain plug and refill with new engine oil.
Oil specification and viscosity:
lAPI grade SG, SH or SJ.
lILSAC grade GF-I or GF-II
lRefer toMA-19, "Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio".
Oil capacity (Approximate):
Unit: liter (lmp qt)
CAUTION:
lBe sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
lThe refill capacity depends on the oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifications for ref-
erence only.
lAlways use the dipstick to determine when the proper amount of oil is in the engine.
6. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for oil leakage.
7. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
8. Check oil level. Refer toLU-7, "
ENGINE OIL".
Changing Oil FilterELS000AT
1. Open the oil filter installation/removal cover on the under cover.
2. Using an oil filter wrench, remove the oil filter.
CAUTION:
lThe oil filter is provided with a relief valve.
Use genuine NISSAN oil filter or equivalent.
lBe careful not to get burned when the engine and engine oil
are hot.
lWhen removing, prepare a shop cloth to absorb any oil
leakage or spillage.
lDo not allow engine oil to adhere to the drive belts.
lCompletely wipe off any oil that adhere to the engine and

4. Apply engine oil to the oil seal circumference of the new oil filter.
5. Screw the oil filter manually until it touches the installation sur-
face, then tighten it by 2/3 turn.
6. After warming up the engine, check for engine oil leakage.
7. Check oil level and add engine oil. Refer toLU-7, "
ENGINE OIL".
Checking and Changing Spark PlugsELS000BY
1. Remove ignition coil. Refer toEM-27, "IGNITION COIL".
2. Remove spark plug with suitable spark plug wrench.
lUse standard type spark plug for normal condition.
The hot type spark plug is suitable when fouling occurs with the stan-
dard type spark plug under conditions such as.
lfrequent engine starts.
llow ambient temperatures.
lextended highway driving.
lfrequent high engine revolution.
The cold type spark plug is suitable when spark plug knock occurs with the standard type spark plug under
conditions such as.
3. Check plug gap of each spark plug. Adjust or replace if necessary.
