FOR NORTH AMERICA: Engine Oil Recommendation
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 Lubricant 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.
Scheme 41
Scheme 41: FOR NORTH AMERICA: Engine Oil Recommendation
FOR NORTH AMERICA: Anti-Freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a pre-diluted mixture of 50% Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) and 50% water to provide year-round anti-freeze and coolant protection. The antifreeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional engine cooling system additives are not necessary.
| WARNING | Never remove the radiator or coolant reservoir cap when the engine is hot. Wait until the engine and radiator cool down. Serious burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from the radiator. The radiator is equipped with a pressure type radiator cap. To prevent engine damage, use only a genuine NISSAN radiator cap. |
| CAUTION | When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent. Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is pre-diluted to provide antifreeze protection to -34°F (-37°C). If additional freeze protection is needed due to weather where you operate your vehicle, add Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) concentrate following the directions on the container. If an equivalent coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is used, follow the coolant manufacturers instructions to maintain minimum antifreeze protection to -34°F (-37°C). The use of other types of coolant solutions other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent may damage the engine cooling system. Mixing any other type of coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue), including Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (green), or the use of non-distilled water will reduce the life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant. |
DIFFERENTIAL GEAR OIL
- 80W-90 for the front differential gear is preferable.
Scheme 42
FOR MEXICO: Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio
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 a Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalent in its quality with the proper mixture ratio. See the examples shown in the figure below. The use of other types of engine coolant may damage the engine 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.
Scheme 43
| Unit: specific gravity |
|---|
| Engine coolant mixture ratio | Coolant temperature °C (°F) |

BALANCING WHEELS (BONDING WEIGHT TYPE)
Preparation Before Adjustment
Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the road wheel.
| CAUTION | Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal. After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road wheel. |
If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting, select and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for road wheels.

- Set road wheel on tire balance machine using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.
- When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the tire balance machine indicator, multiply outer unbalance value by 5/3 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight with a value closest to the calculated value above and install to the designated outer position of, or at the designated angle in relation to the road wheel. CAUTION: Never install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight. Before installing the balance weight, always to clean the mating surface of the road wheel. Indicated unbalance value x 5/3 = balance weight to be installed Calculation example: 23 g (0.81 oz) x 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) --> 37.5 g (1.32 oz) balance weight (closer to calculated balance weight value) NOTE: Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated balance weight value. Example: 36.2 --> 35 g (1.23 oz) 36.3 --> 37.5 g (1.32 oz) Installed balance weight in the position. When installing balance weight (1) to road wheels, set it into the grooved area (A) on the inner wall of the road wheel as shown in the figure below so that the balance weight center (B) is aligned with the tire balance machine indication position (angle) (C). CAUTION: Always use genuine NISSAN adhesion balance weights. Balance weights are non-reusable; always replace with new ones. Never install more than four sheets of balance weight. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown in the figure below. CAUTION: Never install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
- Start the tire balance machine again.
- Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the tire balance machine indication position (angle). CAUTION: Never install more than two balance weight.
- Start the tire balance machine. Check that the inner and outer residual unbalance value is within the allowable unbalance value. CAUTION: If either residual unbalance value exceeds limit, repeat installation procedures. Allowable unbalance value Dynamic (At flange): Refer to " «ROAD WHEEL»(ref-618045-S27537478592014052700000) ". Static (At flange): Refer to " «ROAD WHEEL»(ref-618045-S27537478592014052700000) ".
FRONT BRAKE
| CAUTION | If the brake fluid contacts the brake caliper assembly and disc rotor, quickly wipe it off. Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface. Never operate the brake pedal with the reservoir cap removed. Failure to do this may cause the scattering of brake fluid. Never operate the brake pedal excessively during the work procedure. Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir tank while performing the air bleeding. Bleed air in the following order: motor/accumulator assembly --> front right brake --> front left brake --> rear left brake --> and rear right brake. |
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Depress the brake pedal 20 times or more. NOTE: The pressure loss in the accumulator results in a large brake pedal stroke. In addition to this, the brake pedal depression becomes lighter in initial stage.
- Check that there is no foreign material in the reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid. CAUTION: Never reuse drained brake fluid. Never allow oils other than brake fluid to enter the reservoir tank.
- Turn the ignition switch ON.
- Connect a vinyl tube to the bleed valve.
- Depress the brake pedal and loosen the bleeder valve.
- Repeat steps 1 to 6 until all of the air is out of the brake line and tighten the air bleeder to the specified torque with the brake pedal depressed. Refer to " «BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY: EXPLODED VIEW»(ref-618064-S31842998422014052700000) ".
- Check that no drag feel is present for the front disc brake. Refer to " «BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY: INSPECTION»(ref-618064-S21438423642014052700000) ".
- Check each item of brake pedal. Adjust it if the measurement value is not the standard. Refer to " «INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT»(ref-618064-S20879792262014052700000) ".
