Adjustment

ATF : Refer to " GENERAL SPECIFICATION ".

Fluid capacity : Refer to " GENERAL SPECIFICATION ".

CAUTIONUse only Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF. Never mix with other ATF. Using ATF other than Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and A/T durability, and may damage the A/T, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty. When filling ATF, be careful not to scatter heat generating parts such as exhaust. Always maintain the ATF temperature within between 35°C (95°F) and 45°C (113°F) while checking with CONSULT-III when the ATF level adjustment is performed.

  1. Install the O-ring (315268E000) (A) to the charging pipe (310811EA5A) (B).
  2. Start the engine.
  3. Make the ATF temperature approximately 40°C (104°F). NOTE: The ATF level is greatly affected by the temperature. Always check the ATF temperature on "ATF TEMP 1" of "Data Monitor" using CONSULT-III.
  4. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
  5. Shift the selector lever through each gear position. Leave selector lever in "P" position.
  6. Lift up the vehicle.
  7. Check the ATF leakage from transmission.
  8. Remove overflow plug from oil pan.
  9. Install the charging pipe (A) to the overflow plug hole. CAUTION: Tighten the charging pipe by hand.
  10. Install the bucket pump hose (B) to the charging pipe. CAUTION: Insert the bucket pump hose all the way to the end of the charging pipe.
  11. Fill approximately 0.5 liters (1/2 US qt, 1/2 lmp qt) of the ATF.
  12. Check that the ATF leaks when removing the charging pipe and the bucket pump hose. If the ATF does not leak, refill the ATF.
  13. When the ATF starts to drip, tighten the overflow plug to the oil pan to the specified torque. Refer to " «EXPLODED VIEW»(ref-402639-S37593464942011053100000) ". CAUTION: Never reuse overflow plug.
