Fuel recommendation
MR20DE and QR25DE engine except Spec-V
Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research octane number 91).
QR25DE engine Spec-V only
Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research octane number 96).
If unleaded premium gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at lease 87 AKI (Research octane number 91) can be used, but only under the following precautions.
● have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with unleaded premium as soon as possible.
● avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.
However, for maximum vehicle performance, the use of unleaded premium gasoline is recommended.
● Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect the emission control system, and may also affect the warranty coverage.
● Under no circumstances should a leaded gasoline be used, because this will damage the three-way catalyst.
● Do not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is not designed to run on E-85 fuel. Using E-85 fuel can damage the fuel system components and is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
