Nissan continues to place a very high priority on effective environmental management and has taken a comprehensive approach to reducing CO2 emissions, developing fuel-efficient engines, highly efficient transmission systems, lightweight, high strength vehicle bodies as well as more aerodynamic vehicles with low air resistance. Examples of advancement by Nissan with this type of technology are evident in some recent new releases such as 350Z, Maxima and Murano.

Can my vehicle run on fuel containing ethanol?
Nissan vehicles manufactured from 1 January 2004 onwards are capable of operation on ethanol blends up to E10 (10% ethanol), providing the following conditions are met:

1. The fuel used (including ethanol-blend) meets the requirements of the Australian Fuel Quality Standards,
2. A credible history of servicing as per Nissan's recommended service schedule can be shown, and
3. Blending of the ethanol component to the petroleum component of the fuel has been properly made for example at a fuel refinery (ie there is no "splash"-blending of the fuel).

For Nissan vehicles manufactured prior to 1 January 2004, although capable of operation on ethanol-blended ULP, Nissan does NOT recommend the use of ethanol-blended fuel in these vehicles.

Can my diesel Nissan vehicle run on fuel containing biodiesel?
EN590¹, upon which the Australian Fuel Quality Standards (AFQS)² are based, specifies that no more than 5% BIODIESEL³ may be mixed to DIESEL⁴ fuel.

Nissan specifies that DIESEL fuel should be used in its diesel-engined vehicles.
Nissan can not recommend the usage of fuel other than DIESEL in its diesel-engined vehicles.

Can my vehicle run on LPG?
Nissan does not manufacture, supply or source LPG equipment for its range of vehicles imported into Australia.

LPG has quite a number of differences to petrol such as different combustion temperatures, different fuel consumption characteristics and exhaust emissions, just to name a few.

Therefore, although capable of operating on LPG, Nissan does NOT recommend the use of LPG fuel in its petrol-engine vehicles.   It should also be noted that Nissan does not warrant the installation of LPG systems to any of its vehicles nor is it responsible for any failure attributable to or damage resultant from, any such installation.
