FOR MEXICO : Fluids and Lubricants

*1: For further details, see "Engine Oil Recommendation".
*2: Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant (blue) 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 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.

FOR MEXICO : Engine Oil Recommendation

GASOLINE ENGINE

• 10W-30 is preferable.

  5W-30 is also preferable and will improve fuel economy.

  If 10W-30 or 5W-30 is not available, select the viscosity, from the chart, that is suitable for the outside temperature range.

FOR MEXICO : 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 antifreeze function. Therefore, additional cooling system additives are not necessary.

Coolant Mixture Ratios

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.

Mixed Coolant Specific Gravity

WARNING: Do not remove the radiator 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.

CAUTION:

• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalent in its quality with the proper mixture ratio.
• The use of other types of engine coolant may damage your cooling system
