CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and
apply the parking brake.
2. Start the engine and let it idle until it
reaches operating temperature.
3. Turn off the engine. Wait more than 10
minutes for the oil to drain back into
the oil pan.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.
Reinsert it all the way.
5. Remove the dipstick again and check
the oil level. It should be between the H
(High) and L (Low) marks
O
B
. This is the
normal operating oil level range. If the oil
level is below the L (Low) mark
O
A
,re-
move the oil filler cap and pour recom-
mended oil through the opening. Do not
overfill
O
C
.
6. Recheck oil level with the dipstick.
It is normal to add some engine oil be-
tween oil maintenance intervals de-
pending on the severity of operating
conditions or depending on the property
of the engine oil used. More engine oil is
consumed by frequent acceleration/
deceleration especially when the engine
rpm is high. Consumption is likely to be
higher when the engine is new. If the rate
of oil consumption, after driving for
3,000 miles (5,000 km), is more than 0.5
liter per 600 miles (1,000 km), consult a
NISSAN dealer
CAUTION
Oil level should be checked regularly.
Operating the engine with an insuffi-
cient amount of oil can damage the en-
gine, and such damage is not covered
by warranty.
