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 34
FOR NORTH AMERICA : 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.
| 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 system. |
Scheme 35
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.
Scheme 36
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 Genuine 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. |
Scheme 37
- 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 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Engine coolant mixture ratio | Coolant temperature °C (°F) | |||
| 15 (59) | 25 (77) | 35 (95) | 45 (113) | |
| 30% | 1.046 - 1.050 | 1.042 - 1.046 | 1.038 - 1.042 | 1.033 - 1.038 |

BALANCING WHEELS (BONDING WEIGHT TYPE)
Preparation Before Adjustment
Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the road wheel.
| CAUTION | Be careful not scratch the road wheel during removal. After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road wheel. |
Wheel Balance Adjustment
- 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.
Scheme 44
Scheme 45
Scheme 46
- 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 in to the designated outer position of, or at the designated angle in relation to the road wheel. CAUTION: Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight. Before installing the balance weight, be sure 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.) ==> 40 g (1.41 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: 37.4 ==> 35 g (1.23 oz.) 37.5 ==> 40 g (1.41 oz.) see scheme 41: Identifying Balance Weight 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 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. Do not install more than three sheets of balance weight. (Scheme 41): Identifying Balance Weight Installing Position 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. CAUTION: Do not install one balance weight sheet on top another.
- Start tire balance machine again.
- Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the tire balance machine indication position (angle). CAUTION: Do not install more than two balance weight. (Scheme 42): Identifying Wheel Weight Indication Position
- Start tire balance machine. Make sure that inner and outer residual unbalance values are 5 g (0.17 oz.) each or below.
- If either residual unbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.17 oz.), repeat installation procedures. WHEEL BALANCE REFERENCE Wheel balance Dynamic (At flange) Static (At flange) Maximum allowable unbalance Refer to " «ROAD WHEEL»(ref-295121-S16004550822008081400000) ".

- Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals. Refer to " «FOR NORTH AMERICA: Explanation of General Maintenance»(ref-295130-S01336108972008081400000) ".
- When installing the wheel, tighten wheel nuts to the specified torque. CAUTION: Do not include the T-type spare tire when rotating the tires. When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels from developing any distortion. Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor. (Scheme 43): Identifying Wheels Rotation Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels. Wheel nuts tightening torque: Refer to " «ROAD WHEEL»(ref-295121-S16004550822008081400000) ".
