Fluids and Lubricants

*1: For additional information, see “SAE Viscosity Number”.

*2: Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminium 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: Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2. Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the warranty.

*4: If Genuine NISSAN gear oil (Chevron Texaco ETL8997B) is not available, API GL-4, Viscosity SAE 75W-80 may be used as a temporary replacement. However, use Genuine NISSAN gear oil as soon as it is available.

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

SAE Viscosity Number

GASOLINE ENGINE

• 5W-30 is preferable.

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

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 (50%). See the examples shown in the figure.

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.

WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap and reservoir tank cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from the radiator. Wait until the engine and radiator cool down.
