Maintenance: Other Nissan 350Z I рестайлинг

Precautions for Battery Service

Before disconnecting the battery, lower both the driver and passenger windows. This will prevent any interference between the window edge and the vehicle when the door is opened/closed. During normal operation, the window slightly raises and lowers automatically to prevent any window to vehicle interference. The automatic window function will not work with the battery disconnected.

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.

Anti-Freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio Chart. Scheme 13

ANTI-FREEZE COOLANT MIXTURE RATIO

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.

Checking Drive Belts. Scheme 14

1. Make sure that the indicator (C) (notch on fixed side) of drive belt auto-tensioner is within the possible use range (A). NOTE: Check the drive belt auto-tensioner indication when the engine is cold.
2. When new drive belt is installed, the indicator (C) (notch on fixed side) should be within the range (B) in the figure.
3. Visually check entire drive belt for wear, damage or cracks.
4. If the indicator (C) (notch on fixed side) is out of the possible use range or belts is damaged, replace drive belt.

Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear position. Leave selector lever in "P" position. Check A/T fluid level with engine idling. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and wipe clean with lint-free paper. (Scheme 23): Identifying A/T Fluid Level CAUTION: When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth one. Re-insert A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging pipe as far as it will go. CAUTION: To check A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge until the cap contacts the end of the A/T fluid charging pipe, with the A/T fluid level gauge reversed from the normal attachment conditions. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and note reading. If reading is at low side of range, add ATF to the A/T fluid charging pipe. CAUTION: Do not overfill.

Therefore, be certain to perform operation while checking data with CONSULT-II. (Scheme 24): A/T Fluid Temperature Graph Connect CONSULT-II to data link connector. Select "MAIN SIGNALS" in "DATA MONITOR" mode for "A/T" with CONSULT-II. Read out the value of "ATF TEMP 1".
7. Re-check A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of approximately 65°C (149°F) using "HOT" range on A/T fluid level gauge. CAUTION: When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth one. To check A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge until the cap contacts the end of the A/T fluid charging pipe, with the gauge reversed from the normal attachment conditions as shown.
