5W-30

Oil filter part number

Nissan 15208-65F0E · 15208-9E01A

TIRES & WHEELS

Lug nut torque

80 ft-lb (108 N·m)

Tighten in a star pattern; re-check after 50–100 miles.

Drivetrain

FWD with AWD on many trims

Forward cross (FWD)

Front tires move straight back to the rear on the same side.
Rear tires cross to the front: left rear → right front, right rear → left front.

X-pattern (AWD)

Every tire crosses diagonally: left front ↔ right rear, right front ↔ left rear.
Keep all four tires within the same tread depth (AWD systems are sensitive to mismatched sizes).

Directional or staggered tires use different rules — see all rotation patterns.

TPMS reset · Auto relearn / hazard-flash inflation method

Applies to 2008 and newer (some 2006–2007 too).

1
Set all tires to the door-jamb pressure.
2
Many models: drive above 16 mph for about 10 minutes and the system relearns on its own.
3
Models with Easy Fill: with ignition on and hazards flashing, add air until the horn beeps at the correct pressure.
4
After a sensor swap, a TPMS tool may be needed to register new sensor IDs.

Torque, drivetrain and TPMS info are common values for this model family. Verify in your owner's manual or service info before working on the vehicle.

BEFORE YOU START

Only reset the oil life after a real oil and filter change.
Warm oil is hot — let the engine cool a few minutes before draining.
Reset resets the internal interval timer; it doesn't change what's in the sump.
