*1: For further details, refer to

MA-14, "Engine Oil Recommendation"

*2: If Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF is not available, Genuine Matic J ATF may also be used. Using automatic transmission fluid
other than Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF or Matic J ATF will cause deterioration in drive ability and automatic transmission
durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by the INFINITI new vehicle limited warranty.

*3: DEXRON

VI type ATF may also be used.

*4: Available in mainland U.S.A. through an INFINITI dealer.
*5: For further details, see “Air conditioner specification label”.
*6: For hot climates, viscosity SAE 90 is suitable for ambient temperatures above 0

° C (32° F).

*7: For improved vehicle performance, INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91
AKI (RON 96). For further details, refer to

GI-27, "Precaution for Fuel (Unleaded Premium Gasoline Required)"

*8: See an INFINITI dealer for service for synthetic oil.
*9: Using fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Matic D ATF may cause deterioration in drive ability and transfer durability, and may damage
the transfer, which is not covered by the INFINITI new vehicle limited warranty.

RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS

Engine Oil Recommendation

INFOID:0000000005145939

NISSAN recommends the use of an energy conserving oil in order to

improve fuel economy. Select only engine oils that meet the Ameri-

can Petroleum Institute (API) certification and International Lubricant

Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) certification and

SAE viscosity standard (2). These oils have the API certification

mark (1) on the front of the container. Oils which do not have the

specified quality label should not be used as they could cause

engine damage.

ANTI-FREEZE COOLANT MIXTURE RATIO

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality, long life, year-round, anti-freeze coolant

solution. The anti-freeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Therefore, additional cooling system

additives are not necessary.

CAUTION:

• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-freeze cool-

ant or equivalent with the proper mixture ratio of 50% anti-freeze and 50% demineralized water or

distilled water.

• Other types of coolant solutions may damage your cooling system.

INFOID:0000000005403132

WARNING:

Be sure to perform when the engine is stopped.
1. Remove air duct and resonator assembly when inspecting drive belt.
2. Make sure that indicator (single line notch) of each auto tensioner is within the allowable working range

(between three line notches).

NOTE:

• Check the drive belt auto tensioner indication when the engine is cold.

• The indicator notch is located on the moving side of the drive belt auto tensioner.

3. Visually check entire belt for wear, damage or cracks.
4. If the indicator is out of allowable working range or belt is damaged, replace the belt. Refer to

MA-15

DRIVE BELT TENSION

There is no manual drive belt tension adjustment. The drive belt tension is automatically adjusted by the drive

belt auto tensioner.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

• Check if the engine coolant reservoir tank level is within MIN to

MAX level when engine is cool.

• Adjust engine coolant level as necessary.

CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS

WARNING:

Never remove the radiator or reservoir cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from

high-pressure engine coolant escaping from the radiator or reservoir.

• To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system at the

reservoir filler neck using suitable tool and Tool.

CAUTION:

Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.

NOTE:

In case that engine coolant decreases, replenish cooling system

with engine coolant.

• If any concerns are found, repair or replace damaged parts.

CHECKING RESERVOIR CAP

• Check reservoir cap relief pressure using suitable tool and Tool.

NOTE:

Apply engine coolant to the cap seal.

• Replace the reservoir cap if there is any damage in the negative-

pressure valve, or if the open-valve pressure is outside of the limit.

CHECKING RADIATOR CAP

Inspect the radiator cap.

NOTE:

Thoroughly wipe out the radiator filler neck to remove any waxy resi-

due or foreign material.

• Replace the cap if the metal plunger cannot be seen around the

edge of the black rubber gasket.

• Replace the cap if deposits of waxy residue or other foreign mate-

rial are on the black rubber gasket or the metal retainer.
