The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric con-

ditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent mainte-

nance may be required.

Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.

ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL MAINTENANCE (HR16DE ENGINE)

Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace, E = Check and correct the engine coolant mixture ratio.

NOTE:

• Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Condi-

tions”.

• (1) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
• (2) Replace the drive belts if found damaged.
• (3) Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant (blue) 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. Check and correct the engine coolant mixture ratio every
40,000 km (24,000 miles) or 24 months. First replacement interval is 160,000 km (96,000 miles) or 96 months. After first replacement,
