*1: For further details, see “Engine Oil Recommendation”.

*2: Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the NIS-
SAN new vehicle limited warranty.

*3: For hot climates, viscosity SAE 90 is suitable for ambient temperatures above 0

FOR NORTH AMERICA : Engine Oil Recommendation

INFOID:0000000005516135

NISSAN recommends the use of an energy conserving oil in order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API) certification and International Lubri-
cant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) certification and SAE viscosity standard. These oils
have the API certification mark 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.

RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS

FOR NORTH AMERICA : Anti-Freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio

INFOID:0000000005516136

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality,
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 Antifreeze/Coolant or equivalent with the
proper mixture ratio of 50% anti-freeze and 50% demineralized
water/distilled water.
Other types of coolant solutions may damage your cooling sys-
tem.

FOR MEXICO

FOR MEXICO : Fluids and Lubricants

INFOID:0000000005516137

*1: For further details, see “SAE Viscosity Number”.

*2: Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant 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.

*3:Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT fluid NS-2 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the war-
ranty.

*4: DEXRON™ VI type ATF may also be used.

GASOLINE ENGINE

• 10W-30 is preferable.

5W-30 is also preferable and will improve fuel economy.
If 10W-30 or 5W-30 is not available, select the viscosity, from the
chart, that is suitable for the outside temperature range.

FOR MEXICO : Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio

INFOID:0000000005516139

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:

• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genu-

ine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalent in its quality with
the proper mixture ratio. See the examples shown right.

The use of other types of engine coolant may damage your
cooling system. 
• When 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

WARNING:

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.

Be sure to perform the this step when engine is stopped.
• Check that the indicator (A) of drive belt auto-tensioner is within the possible use range (C).

NOTE:
• Check the drive belt auto-tensioner indication when the engine is cold.
• When new drive belt is installed, the indicator should be within the range (B) in the figure.

• Visually check entire drive belt for wear, damage or cracks.
• If the indicator is out of the possible use range or belt is damaged, replace drive belt.
