Nissan Qashqai 2023 Owners Manual
10.6.1. Checking engine oil level
The oil level should be checked regularly. Operating with an insufficient amount of oil can damage the engine, and such damage is not covered by warranty.
Some models use the Oil Condition Supervisor (OCS) function. Other models have a service reminder manually set by the user.

Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake.
Start the engine. If the engine is cold, start and let the engine idle until it reaches the operational temperature (approximately 5 minutes).
Turn the engine off.
Wait at least 15 minutes for the engine oil to drain back into the oil pan.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.
Re-insert it all the way.
Remove the dipstick again and check the oil level. It should be in the normal range (1).
If the oil level is below the minimum mark (2), remove the engine oil filler cap and pour the recommended oil through the opening. Do not overfill (3).
Recheck the oil level with the dipstick.
It is normal to add some engine oil between oil maintenance intervals depending on the severity of operating conditions or depending on the property of the engine oil used. More engine oil is consumed by frequent acceleration/deceleration especially when the engine rpm is high. Consumption is likely to be higher when the engine is new. If the rate of oil consumption, after having driven for 5,000 km (3,000 miles), is more than 0.5 litre per 1,000 km (621 miles), consult a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
