WARNING
Be sure the engine and ignition switch
are off and that the parking brake is
engaged securely.
CAUTION
Be sure to use the correct socket to
remove the spark plugs. An incorrect
socket can damage the spark plugs.
REPLACING SPARK PLUGSIf replacement is required, see a NISSAN dealer
for servicing.Platinum-tipped spark plugsIt is not necessary to replace the platinum-tippedAspark plugs as frequently as the conventional
type spark plugs since they will last much longer.
Follow the maintenance schedule, but do not
reuse them by cleaning or regapping.
Always replace with recommended
platinum-tipped spark plugs.The filter element should not be cleaned and
reused. Replace it according to the maintenance
log shown in the separate Service and Mainte-
nance Guide. When replacing the filter, wipe the
inside of the air cleaner housing and the cover
with a damp cloth.
WARNING

Operating the engine with the air
cleaner removed can cause you or
others to be burned. The air cleaner
not only cleans the air, it stops flame
