*1: For further details, see “Engine Oil Recommendation”.
*2: Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and
automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by the INFINITI new
vehicle limited warranty.

*3: For Canada, NISSAN Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF), DEXRON

III/ MERCON

, or equivalent ATF may also be used.

*4: Available in mainland U.S.A. through your INFINITI dealer.
*5: For hot climates, viscosity SAE 90 is suitable for ambient temperatures above 0

C (32

RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS

Engine Oil Recommendation

NLS0008R

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 Lubri-
cant 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

NLS0001F

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 sys-
tem.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Checking Drive Belts

NLS0001G

WARNING:

Be sure to perform when the engine is stopped.
1.

Inspect belts for cracks, fraying, wear and oil. If necessary, replace.

Inspect drive belt deflection or tension at a point on the belt mid-
way between pulleys.

●

Inspection should be done only when engine is cold, or over
30 minutes after engine is stopped.

●

Measure the belt tension with belt tension gauge (commercial
service tool: BT3373-F or equivalent) at points marked
shown in the figure.

●

When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the
marked point.

●

Adjust if belt deflection exceeds the limit or if belt tension is
not within specifications.

CAUTION:

●

When checking belt deflection or tension immediately after installation, first adjust it to the speci-
fied value. Then, after turning the crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified value to
avoid variation in deflection between pulleys.

●

Tighten idler pulley lock nut by hand and measure the deflection or tension without looseness.

Belt deflection and tension

: If belt tension gauge cannot be installed at check points shown, check drive belt tension at different location on the belt.

Tension Adjustment

NLS0001H

CAUTION:

●

When belt is replaced with a new one, adjust it to value for “New belt” to accommodate for insuffi-
cient adaptability with pulley grooves.

●

When deflection or tension of belt being used exceeds “Limit”, adjust it to value for “After adjust-
ment”.

●

When checking belt deflection or tension immediately after installation, first adjust it to the speci-
fied value. Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified value to
avoid variation in deflection between pulleys.

●

When installing belt, make sure that it is correctly engaged with pulley groove.

●

Keep oil and water away from belt.

●

Do not twist or bend belt excessively.

Changing Engine Coolant

NLS0001I

WARNING:

●

To avoid being scalded, do not change engine coolant when engine is hot.

●

Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap and carefully remove radiator cap. First, turn cap a quarter
of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn radiator cap all the way.

●

Be careful not to allow engine coolant to contact drive belts.

DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT

Remove undercover with power tool.

Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator, and then
remove radiator cap.

When drain all of engine coolant in the system, open drain plugs on engine cylinder block. Refer
to

EM-138, "DISASSEMBLY"

Remove reservoir tank, drain engine coolant and clean tank before installing.
