*1: For further details, see “SAE viscosity number”.
*2: API GL-5, SAE 140 and 10% volume of LSD Friction Modifier (Part No.: 38469-C6000) is an equivalent.
*3: Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine Nissan ATF Matic Fluid J will cause deterioration in driveability and automatic transmis-
sion durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by the warranty.
*4: For more information regarding suitable fluids, contact a Nissan dealer for correct brands of DEXRONTMIII/MERCONTM Automatic Transmission Fluid.
*5: Never use API CG-4.
*6: Use Nissan Genuine Engine Coolant [For Europe, use Genuine Nissan Anti-freeze Coolant (L250)] or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible
aluminum 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 war-
ranty even if such incidents occurred during the warranty period.
*7: Never mix DOT 3 & DOT 4.

1. Inspect for cracks, fraying, wear or oil adhesion. If necessary,

replace with a new one.
2. Inspect drive belt deflections by pushing on the belt midway
between pulleys.
Adjust if belt deflections exceed the limit.
