NOTE:

• Maintenance items with “

” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Condi-

tions”.

• (1) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.

• (2) Replace the drive belt if found damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.

• (3) 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 coolant.

First replace at 90,000 km (54,000 miles), then every 60,000 km (36,000 miles). Perform "I" (Checking the mixture ratio and
correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.

• (4) Fuel filter is maintenance-free. For service procedures, refer to FL section.

• (5) Replace spark plug when the spark plug gap exceeds 1.4 mm (0.055 in) even if within specified periodic replacement

mileage.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

NOTE:

• (1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration

with Consult-III every 90,000 km (54,000 miles), then change CVT fluid NS-2 if necessary. (Refer to 

TM-204, "CONSULT-III

Function (TRANSMISSION)"

 for RE0F10A, 

TM-37, "CONSULT-III Function (TRANSMISSION)"

 for RE0F09B.) And if Consult-III

is not available, change (do not just inspect) CVT fluid NS-2 every 90,000 km (54,000 miles). Using transmission fluid other
than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the warranty.

• (2) Inspect once per year.

• Maintenance items with “

” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Condi-

tions”.

MAINTENANCE UNDER SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS

(Annual Mileage > 30,000 km/year)
The maintenance intervals shown on the preceding pages are for normal operating conditions. If the vehicle is
mainly operated under severe driving conditions as shown below, more frequent maintenance must be per-
formed on the following items as shown in the table.

Severe driving conditions
A — Driving in dusty conditions
B — Driving repeatedly short distances or door to door driving
C — Towing a trailer or caravan
D — Extensive idling or urban driving
E — Driving in extremely adverse weather conditions or in areas where ambient temperatures are either
extremely low or extremely high
F — Driving in high humidity areas or in mountainous areas
G — Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials
H — Driving on rough and/or muddy roads or in the desert
I — Driving with frequent use of braking or in mountainous areas

Maintenance operation: Inspect = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary.

RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS

Fluids and Lubricants

INFOID:0000000003858223

*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 can be used.

*5: Never mix different types of fluids (DOT3 and DOT4).

RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS

If 5W-30 is not available, select the viscosity, from the chart, that is
suitable for the outside temperature range.

Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio

INFOID:0000000003858225

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. Genu-
ine NISSAN Engine Coolant is premixed (mixture ratio 50%)
type coolant.

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.
