 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE (For Australia and New Zealand)

The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric
conditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent
maintenance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.

(3) Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant, 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. After first replacement, replace
every 40,000 km (24,000 miles) or 24 months.
