Checking Fluid Level

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Murano. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Stop engine before performing a fluid level check.
Ensure that fluid level is between the MAX range and MIN range.
Because fluid level differs within the HOT range and the COLD range, check it carefully.
HOT: Fluid temperatures from 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F)

COLD: Fluid temperatures from 0 to 30°C (32 to 86°F)
